slug_from_query() detects VPC URLs and bare slugs (must contain a hyphen
to avoid treating single search words as slugs). When matched, the search
bypasses the keyword search and shows the plant directly as a VPC result.
Updated search hint text to make this discoverable.
Fixes: VPC search by English name (e.g. "crowfoot") is a VPC limitation —
their search only indexes Latin titles, not custom fields like Engelse naam.
The URL paste workflow is the reliable workaround.

Species.vpc_raw (JSONField) stores the full scrape payload at import time.
vpc_species_reset view restores bloom_months, sunlight, max_height_cm etc.
from that snapshot. If vpc_raw is missing (species imported before this
feature), it re-scrapes from VPC on demand and saves the result.
Reset button appears on plant detail page for any plant with a VPC species.
A 'next' hidden field returns the user to the same plant after reset.

- New plants/services/vpc.py: search VPC (vasteplantencatalogus.nl) by
keyword and scrape full plant detail on select
- Both searches run in parallel via ThreadPoolExecutor
- species_results partial shows results from both sources with colour-coded
source badges (green = Perenual, blue = VPC)
- vpc_select view scrapes the detail page on select, creates Species with
bloom_months, max_height_cm, sunlight from the VPC page
- Species.vpc_slug field (migration 0005) prevents re-importing the same plant
- beautifulsoup4 added to requirements
- Handles VPC unavailability gracefully (empty results, no error shown to user)
