feat: fold the TTFolderPath refresh into --output

TL.db syncs between machines whose absolute paths differ, so a single
TTFolderPath column cannot be correct on both at once -- the stored paths are
only trustworthy on the machine that wrote them. That made --updatepaths a
mandatory prelude to every --output rather than the one-time setup step it
looks like.

--output now refreshes the column from the TumblThree Index metadata before
exporting. The root comes from the first non-flag argument, else
appSettings:PathTTRoot. With no root available it says so and exports whatever
TL.db already holds; a root whose Index folder is missing is a hard stop, since
silently exporting stale paths is the failure this change exists to prevent.
--norefresh skips the refresh for a pure export.

The scan is extracted from UpdateBlogPathsRunner.Run into a reusable Scan() that
returns counts instead of only printing them, so --updatepaths keeps its
per-file detail while --output prints a single summary line rather than a few
hundred lines ahead of the export.

Verified against a throwaway database: a stale cross-machine path is repaired
and the export lands in the correct local folder; no configured root warns and
continues (exit 0); a missing Index folder stops (exit 1); --norefresh skips the
refresh and exports (exit 0).
