[Kavita] Scanner Dirty Checking Improvement

[SteveXu9102]

Idea Description

I was using v0.8.7 and at some point issue #3440 occured, so I restarted the program and redone a scan.

As it was supposed to do, the scanner skipped the subfolder that has been imported, including the subfolder that was halfway done in the first scan.

And here's the problem: the rest of the files in that folder were also skipped.

I'm not saying using Last Modified time is wrong. It's a good way to save system overhead while scanning.

But if the logics of the scanner can be improved, the user experience will be better (when there're lots of files in a folder).

For example, compare number of entries related to the subfolder in the database with actual number of files in that subfolder to judge if the subfolder needs a scan.
