Add GPT-5 extended thinking support for podcast generation (#155)
* Add helpful error message for GPT-5 extended thinking issue in podcasts

When GPT-5 models use extended thinking and put all output inside
<think> tags, the podcast-creator library strips those tags and is
left with empty content, causing a JSON parsing error.

This commit adds detection for this specific error pattern and provides
a helpful message suggesting to use gpt-4o, gpt-4o-mini, or gpt-4-turbo
instead.

Fixes issue where podcast generation fails with:
"Invalid json output: " or "Expecting value: line 1 column 1"

* Add custom podcast prompts with GPT-5 extended thinking support

Created custom Jinja templates for podcast outline and transcript
generation that properly handle GPT-5 models with extended thinking.

The templates explicitly instruct models to:
1. Put reasoning inside <think></think> tags
2. Put the final JSON output OUTSIDE and AFTER the thinking tags
3. Return raw JSON without ```json code block wrappers

This fixes the issue where GPT-5 models were putting all output inside
<think> tags, which were then stripped by podcast-creator's
clean_thinking_content() function, leaving empty content that failed
JSON parsing.

The prompts are placed in prompts/podcast/ which is priority #3 in
podcast-creator's template resolution (after inline config and
configured directory, but before bundled defaults).
