Sochen b086123bec feat: add apkg builder, frequency, Ben Yehuda examples, conjugation deck
Implements four major improvements to the Pealim Anki deck pipeline:

1. Automated .apkg generation (genanki) — no more manual Anki Desktop step.
   Both vocabulary and conjugation decks are built programmatically.

2. Word frequency ranking from hermitdave/FrequencyWords he_50k corpus.
   Notes sorted by rank so Anki presents most common words first.

3. Example sentences from Ben Yehuda public domain corpus (not pealim.com).
   Downloads txt_stripped.zip, indexes 25k texts, ~89% coverage on test set.

4. Conjugation drill deck — one card per form × verb.
   Input: verbs_input.txt (Hebrew infinitives). Initial set: 7 verbs (one
   per binyan). Extracts 28 forms each via pealim.com/search/ + table parse.

New files:
  apkg_builder.py     — genanki deck builder for both decks
  benyehuda.py        — Ben Yehuda corpus downloader + sentence indexer
  frequency_lookup.py — FrequencyWords downloader + rank lookup
  verbs_input.txt     — verb input list (7 test verbs, one per binyan)
  data/               — baseline CSVs + generated caches

Updated:
  conjugation_extract.py — rewritten: reads verbs_input.txt, searches
                           /search/?q= for slug, parses table by row labels
  requirements.txt       — add genanki, beautifulsoup4, lxml
  run.py                 — full orchestration pipeline with CLI flags
  .gitignore             — exclude venv/, benyehuda_index.json, audio/, output/

CLI:
  python run.py --skip-scrape --skip-audio --test 20  (quick test)
  python run.py --skip-scrape                          (full build)
