Add --only-photo/--only-video filters, skip NAS thumbnail dirs

Browse Source 
Verified against real files pulled from are-nas: confirmed the tool
correctly leaves already-correct EXIF-dated photos untouched and only
flags the ones actually missing real metadata (validates the earlier
manual fix was precisely targeted). Recursive --dir walk now prunes
@eaDir/#recycle/#snapshot/.SynologyWorkingDirectory instead of wasting
time on generated thumbnails. Fixed a misleading "no files given"
error when --dir was given but --only-photo/--only-video filtered
everything out.

"clock never set" timestamps some cameras write (e.g. literal
`0000:00:00 00:00:00`) are treated as no metadata, not a real date.
`--only-photo`/`--only-video` (mutually exclusive) restrict which formats
are considered, for both explicit file args and `--dir`'s recursive walk.
The recursive walk skips known NAS/sync-tool housekeeping directories
(`@eaDir`, `#recycle`, `#snapshot`, `.SynologyWorkingDirectory`) so it
doesn't waste time on generated thumbnails.
Files with no usable timestamp, or that don't exist, are skipped with a
warning and a non-zero exit code; the rest of the batch still runs. Without
