Fix broken DR streams, add NRK + Sveriges Radio

DR's old Icecast port 8000 (live-icy.gss.dr.dk:8000) stopped responding.
All 4 DR stations now use live-icy.dr.dk over HTTPS at 128kbps.

Added 7 Scandinavian stations:
- NRK P1, P2, P3, Klassisk (Norway)
- SR P1, P2 Klassisk, P3 (Sweden)

+# Changelog
+
+## 2026-04-17
+- Fix all 4 DR (Danish Radio) streams — old Icecast endpoint `live-icy.gss.dr.dk:8000` port 8000 is dead (connection timeout), migrate to `live-icy.dr.dk` over HTTPS with high-quality 128kbps streams
+- Add NRK P1, P2, P3, Klassisk (Norwegian Radio) — MP3 high-quality via lyd.nrk.no
+- Add SR P1, P2 Klassisk, P3 (Sveriges Radio) — 96kbps MP3 via live1.sr.se

+- BUG: Sky News HLS stream fails in mpv with error 1000
+
+## 2026-03-29 (b)
+- Add searchable category tags to all station names (suffix format: ` - tag`)
+- Tags: pacifica, cbc, dr, news, msm, pubradio, talk, campus, music, euro, ontario, somafm, rp, ambient
+- Dual tags for CKAR, Moose FM (ontario + music) and Frequence 3 (music + euro)
+- Aligned all tag dashes vertically for clean display
+- Use pyradio search (`/`) to filter by category (e.g. `/msm`, `/somafm`, `/ambient`)
+
+## 2026-03-29
+- Add news streams section: DW English, Al Jazeera, Sky News, NBC, CNN, CNBC, Fox News
+- Add RTL Radio (Luxembourg) — HLS stream
