feat(catalog): weekly Vercel Cron sync for MTG and Pokémon sets (#48)

Extract shared import logic into lib/card-import, discover missing sets via

by CRON_SECRET (max 3 sets/run, paced imports).

+After the initial bulk import:

+- **Weekly catalog sync (recommended):** Vercel Cron hits `GET /api/cron/sync-catalog`
+  every Monday 06:00 UTC when `CRON_SECRET` is set in the Vercel project. The job
+  discovers missing MTG + Pokémon sets and imports up to 3 per run (paced for upstream
+  rate limits). Manual trigger:
+
+  ```bash
+  curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $CRON_SECRET" https://<your-deployment>/api/cron/sync-catalog
+  ```
+
+- **Admin UI:** `/admin/card-import` for one-off set imports (MTG + Pokémon).
+- **Lorcana:** still manual via admin/scripts until dynamic set discovery lands.
+
+Legacy manual path (still valid):
 - Importing new sets as they release
 - Selective imports of specific sets
 - Monitoring import progress
