The Podcast episode content type declares a Search API Exclude dependency nothing in the chain provides

Problem/Motivation

config/node.type.podcast.yml declares search_api_exclude in dependencies.module and carries a third_party_settings.search_api_exclude block, but no package in this recipe's chain requires that module: not this recipe, not varbase_content_base, varbase_media_base, varbase_seo_base or varbase_workflow_base. The only provider in the suite is drupal_cms_search, which reaches a site through varbase_starter, a package this recipe does not require.

CI does not show it, because CI installs onto a full Varbase Starter site where the module is present for other reasons.

varbase_blog_base and varbase_news_base, which this content type was adapted from, carry neither the dependency nor the settings block.

Steps to reproduce

1. On a site that is not Varbase Starter, run composer require drupal/varbase_podcasts_base.
2. Apply the four base recipes the README names: varbase_content_base, varbase_media_base, varbase_seo_base, varbase_workflow_base.
3. Apply varbase_podcasts_base. The Podcast episode content type carries an unmet module dependency on search_api_exclude.

Proposed resolution

Drop the dependency and the third-party settings block, matching Varbase Blog Base and Varbase News Base exactly. The alternative, declaring the module (a Composer require plus a recipe.yml install entry), was not chosen because nothing in the recipe uses the feature.

The same branch also adds logo.png, the 512x512 Varbase drop that varbase_blog_base, varbase_news_base and varbase_events_base each ship at the repository root. This was the only base recipe without one.
