feat(news): 6h cache, politics-only, max 5/cycle, 2s sleep between calls

- CACHE_TTL: 4h → 6h (≤36 req/day with ≤9 politics markets)
- GNews only called for is_politics markets (BTC/F&G cover crypto/macro)
- MAX_NEWS_QUERIES_PER_CYCLE=5: BayesianStrategy.reset_cycle() called each
  iteration; counter increments only on actual API call (cache hits free)
- 2s asyncio.sleep in news.py finally block after each real HTTP request
- main.py sorts markets: politics first by end_date ascending, so soonest-
  resolving markets consume the 5-query budget before others
