  • 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
