Jeffrey Sperling 96948cc7c0 Deduplicate relevance code across youtube/tiktok/instagram/scrapecreators_x
Replace duplicated STOPWORDS, SYNONYMS, _tokenize, and _compute_relevance
in four modules with imports from the shared relevance.py module.

Existing tests pass unchanged since modules re-export the functions
under the same names via import aliases.
