In normal operation, when RDTClient is idle and no downloads (completed or otherwise) runtime memory use sits between 200Mi and 300Mi normally. Adding 10-20 NZB downloads (including completed) explodes the memory use up to about 3Gi.

After investigating, the issue is caused by the Torrent/NZB data in the main torrent information entities being materialized into memory. Many services in RDTClient work by generating full lists of torrent entities, which materialize these values, and most services don't need the Torrent/NZB payload.

This is likely a bit worse for NZBs as the data can be easily 10Mi or more per download. However, Torrents can sometimes contain large data files as well when lots of small chunks are present.

This change migrates the the Torrent/NZB payloads into their own DB table and adds multiple pathways to generate the list of entities that allows projecting more minimal shapes appropriate to each service. Payloads are dropped from those projections where they are not needed.

Based on the test case above generating 3Gi after 20 NZB, memory usage sits closer to 700Mi now.
