feat: add Japanese/Chinese/Korean OCR support for international Pokemon names

- Added ML Kit script-specific recognizers for Japanese, Chinese, Korean - Implemented multi-script OCR with intelligent fallback logic - Uses parallel recognition for nickname/species fields only - Maintains performance by using Latin recognizer for stats/types - Successfully detects Japanese Pokemon names like "二ンフィイア" - Removed Tesseract dependencies and cleaned up unused code 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
