fix: RESET_PERSON now deletes managed Frigate files before clearing tracker

Previously reset_person wiped the local tracker but left existing Frigate
training files as orphans, causing the next run to upload a full new batch
on top of them. Now deletes all winnow-managed files from Frigate first so
the next run starts truly clean. Manually-added Frigate files are never
touched.

Also fixes a spurious warning when FRIGATE_URL is unset: the deletion step
is now skipped at info level rather than logging a misleading error. Moves
the deferred import to top-level and eliminates a double disk read.

Bumps to 0.4.1. Also fixes ruff lint violations in executor.py (import
sort, line length) and promotes the "winnow only touches files it uploaded"
callout to the README intro.

Frigate's face recognition is only as good as its training data — and the key quality metric is **diversity**, not volume. A hundred photos from the same week teach the model one lighting condition. What you need is a spread: different years, different angles, different lighting, different contexts. Your photo library already has that data. winnow finds and delivers the right subset automatically.
> **winnow only touches files it uploaded.** Faces added to Frigate manually through its UI are never deleted, replaced, or modified — not by quality replacement, not by `RESET_PERSON`, not by stale cleanup. If you have a curated training set you want to keep, it is safe.
