[Request] Support playback position in episode comments via API #1686

Description

@lcandy2

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

On the web, comments on podcast/TV episodes can carry a playback position (the comment form accepts an H:M:S timestamp, stored in seconds). The shelf-mark API only has comment_text — no way to read or write the position — so podcast-oriented clients can't attach "at 32:10" style comments or display existing ones correctly.

Describe the solution you'd like

An optional position (seconds) field on POST /api/me/shelf/item/{item_uuid} for episode items, and included in the relevant response schemas.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Embedding the timestamp in the comment text — not machine-readable and inconsistent with what the web UI produces.

Additional context

Split from #1671 (one issue per request).
