🌟 Fix recipe rating display: use actual avg_rating as confidence and increase minimum review threshold

- Updated confidence calculation to use avg_rating/5.0 instead of similarity score
- This ensures iOS app displays correct star ratings (4-5 stars for filtered recipes)
- Increased min_reviews from 2 to 5 for better quality filtering
- Now only high-quality recipes (4+ stars, 5+ reviews) will be recommended
