New Features

Added the character search option to the imdb_search builder
Added ability to use Show-level ratings at the season and episode level for Overlays if the original source does not provide ratings at the season or episode level. This is accomplished using (Special Text Variables)[https://kometa.wiki/en/latest/files/overlays/#special-text-variables] but is not yet available for the Ratings Defaults file.
Add show_unfiltered setting to display items which make it through a filter
Allow sync_to_trakt_list on episode-level collections
Logic added to Kometa to create config.yml if it does not exist from the config.yml.template file. If the template file cannot be found, Kometa will attempt to download it from GitHub.
When using mass_poster_update, added ignore_locked and ignore_overlays attributes which will prevent Kometa from resetting the image if the poster field is locked (i.e. a previous mass poster update) or if the item has an Overlay. This can effectively act as a differential update system.
When using mass_background_update, added ignore_locked attribute which will prevent Kometa from resetting the image if the poster field is locked (i.e. a previous mass poster update). This can effectively act as a differential update system.
Added date option for schedules
Added the --low-priority/-lp (KOMETA_LOW_PRIORITY) command line argument option to run the process at a lower priority. credit to @planetrocky
