Why tdarr_remove_library_files needs a policy

This tool removes all file records from a library database. Although the description clarifies that files on disk are not removed, wiping all entries from a library DB is an irreversible bulk deletion of data (the database records), making it Destructive. The blast radius is high because removing all library records could require a full re-scan to rebuild and may disrupt ongoing transcoding operations.
