Give an Indicator as to whether or not a show has a dub or not

MAL already has a strong signal for whether a dub exists: on the Characters page, a dubbed show often has 2+ VAs listed per character (JP + EN, sometimes more).

My humble request: Add a simple badge on the anime pages:

Dub: Available (auto-detected)

Dub: Not indicated / JP (or whatever language it was made in) Only / Unknown (if data is missing)

Heuristic (low effort, good accuracy):

Mark Dub Available if at least 2 characters have 2+ VAs listed, ideally including an English entry when MAL labels languages.

Why this matters:

Saves users a trip to other sites.
Makes browsing/filtering faster.
Incentivizes filling in missing dub casts.

Edge cases exist, so label it Auto-detected unless verified.
