fix(profile): validate TS6 HTTP status and stop escaping JSON body

Silent failure: logs showed "Client properties updated" / "Description
updated" / "Avatar updated" even though the bot's nickname never
changed and the avatar stayed as "loading image" on clients.

Root causes:
- TS6HttpQuery.clientUpdate ignored non-2xx responses, so 400 (bad
  parameter) and 403 (insufficient permission) were reported as success.
- updateClientProperties built TS3-escaped strings (\\s for space) then
  split them back into JSON props, so TS6 received literal backslashes
  and rejected the nickname silently.
- handleFeatureError only matched textual "permission" errors; HTTP
  4xx statuses weren't recognised and the feature retried every song.
- doAvatarUpload had no per-step logging, making it impossible to tell
  whether a broken avatar came from init, the TCP 30033 transfer, or
  the client_flag_avatar command.

Fixes:
- Add HttpQueryError (status/body/path); clientUpdate throws on non-2xx.
- Build a raw property map in updateClientProperties; escape only on
  the TS3 wire path.
- Log HTTP status and updated prop names on success.
- handleFeatureError now treats HTTP 400/401/403 as unrecoverable.
- Debug-log each step of doAvatarUpload plus bytes/elapsedMs on success.
