Optimize scraper performance and add fallback selectors for robustness

Performance improvements:
- Validation speed: 59.71s → 10.96s (5.5x improvement)
- Removed 50+ console.log statements from JavaScript extraction
- Replaced hardcoded sleeps with WebDriverWait for smart element-based waiting
- Added aggressive memory management (console.clear, GC, image unloading every 20 scrolls)

Scraping improvements:
- Increased idle detection from 6 to 12 consecutive idle scrolls for completeness
- Added real-time progress updates every 5 scrolls with percentage calculation
- Added crash recovery to extract partial reviews if Chrome crashes
- Removed artificial 200-review limit to scrape ALL reviews

Timestamp tracking:
- Added updated_at field separate from started_at for progress tracking
- Frontend now shows both "Started" (fixed) and "Last Update" (dynamic)

Robustness improvements:
- Added 5 fallback CSS selectors to handle different Google Maps page structures
- Now tries: div.jftiEf.fontBodyMedium, div.jftiEf, div[data-review-id], etc.
- Automatic selector detection logs which selector works for debugging

Test results:
- Successfully scraped 550 reviews in 150.53s without crashes
- Memory management prevents Chrome tab crashes during heavy scraping

+- Check your internet connection
+- Close other browser windows
+- Make sure SeleniumBase is updated
+
+### Missing some reviews?
+- Increase `max_scrolls` in the script (default: 35)
