docs(troubleshooting): add inotify limits documentation and workaround

Add comprehensive troubleshooting documentation for inotify instance limit
errors that cause Jellyfin crashes in environments with many containers.

Changes:
- Add Troubleshooting section to README with inotify limits explanation
- Document proper solution: increase kernel limits via sysctl
- Provide workaround for managed clusters: DOTNET_USE_POLLING_FILE_WATCHER
- Add commented example in values.yaml for easy copy-paste
- Update Chart version from 2.5.0 to 2.5.1
- Add Artifact Hub changelog annotation

The proper solution is to increase inotify limits on Kubernetes nodes:
```bash
sysctl -w fs.inotify.max_user_instances=512
```

For managed Kubernetes where node access is restricted, users can use the
polling workaround (less efficient but functional):
```yaml
jellyfin:
  env:
    - name: DOTNET_USE_POLLING_FILE_WATCHER
      value: "1"
```

This addresses the crash issue mentioned in #64.

Fixes: #64
