Subject: [PATCH] feat: resolve Manual Import mode to Copy when
 copyUsingHardlinks is enabled

When ImportMode is Auto and copyUsingHardlinks is true in Media Management
settings, resolve Manual Import mode to Copy instead of letting it fall
through to Move. This prevents breaking active torrents when using a
hardlink-based workflow.

Fixes #11418
