.SYNOPSIS
Retrieves Spotify playlist IDs by their names.
 
.DESCRIPTION
This function searches for Spotify playlists by name and returns their
corresponding IDs. It follows a three-step process:
1. Searches in the current session's playlists
2. Checks a local cache file if no results found
3. Forces a fresh fetch if cache is outdated or missing
 
The function returns all playlist IDs that match the provided names.
 
.PARAMETER PlaylistName
An array of playlist names to search for. The function will match these names
against your Spotify playlists and return the IDs of matching playlists.
 
.EXAMPLE
Get-SpotifyPlaylistIdsByName -PlaylistName "My Favorites", "Workout Mix"
 
.EXAMPLE
"Chill Vibes" | Get-SpotifyPlaylistIdsByName
