peter 76738f8ea9 fix(plex): plain text decodes only well-formed character references
html.unescape also decodes the legacy forms without a semicolon, so prose like
"AT&notice" came out as "AT¬ice". The show and collection sync paths are
now tested too.

"""Plex text fields as plain text.
Plex hands a summary over as the agent wrote it, and some agents (a Hungarian TV listing, for one)
write HTML: `<p>…</p>` paragraphs and `&aacute;`-style entities. The app renders summaries as text,
so the tags showed literally on the info page and the hover card, and a card's 300-character cut
could land inside one. Every summary and tagline is stored through `plain_text`, and the migration
that cleaned the existing rows calls it too, so the two cannot disagree.
