The HowLongToBeat plugin was returning the same results for all searches
due to invalid seek token extraction. This update implements a robust
multi-tier token extraction system:
- Extract buildId from Next.js page data and search build files
- Test known working tokens before using them
- Add fallback token generation based on timestamp
- Remove non-working /api/search endpoint fallback
- Improve error handling and token validation
- Add comprehensive seek token testing functionality
The plugin now properly returns different results for different search
queries instead of always returning "Expedition 33" results.

The HowLongToBeat website has changed from API-based search to server-side
rendering with Next.js. This update fixes the plugin to work with the new format:
- Switch from POST API requests to GET requests with query parameters
- Replace JSON API parsing with HTML content parsing
- Add support for parsing Next.js __NEXT_DATA__ embedded JSON
- Add fallback regex-based HTML parsing for game cards
- Extract completion times, game names, IDs, and cover images from HTML
- Support half-hour notation (e.g., "31½ Hours") in time parsing
- Remove obsolete seek token functionality
- Simplify data structures to match new response format
