release: v3.1.0

The log revealed byse's true response shape for rejected files:
  { msg: 'OK', status: 200, files: [{ filecode: '', status: 'Not video file format' }] }

HTTP 200 + msg=OK made the old code treat it as 'success but no
file_code'. The real error ('Not video file format') was buried in
files[0].status. parseByseResult now surfaces that with a dedicated
err.fileRejected flag so the rotation layer can distinguish
file-specific vs account-specific failures.

Rotation behavior:
  - file-rejected errors: no retries, no account blacklist, no
    rotation. The same file is going to get the same verdict on
    any account, so skip straight to 'error' status and keep the
    account available for other files in the batch.
  - network errors (already handled): no account blacklist either.
  - everything else: unchanged (retry then rotate).

Also added pattern matches for common rejections (Duplicate, File
too small/large, Unsupported format, etc.) so other hosters'
per-file errors get the same treatment.
