Simple import script for Radarr to ensure an imported movie is first processed by PlexCleaner before the import completes

The idea here is that the deep analysis by Plex and Radarr only occurs after PlexCleaner has processed the file. This ensures that

1. Radarr can calculate the Custom Format Score correctly based on, for example, the audio tracks that are present and actually wanted
2. Plex will only see the post-processed file for analysis, showing the correct available subtitles and audio tracks to users.
