Add adaptive sync pipeline: freshness cache, backpressure, staged batching

Three-layer defense against Concelier overload during bulk advisory sync:

Layer 1 — Freshness query cache (30s TTL):
  GET /advisory-sources, /advisory-sources/summary, and
  /{id}/freshness now cache their results in IMemoryCache for 30s.
  Eliminates the expensive 4-table LEFT JOIN with computed freshness
  on every call during sync storms.

Layer 2 — Backpressure on sync endpoint (429 + Retry-After):
  POST /{sourceId}/sync checks active job count via GetActiveRunsAsync().
  When active runs >= MaxConcurrentJobs, returns 429 Too Many Requests
  with Retry-After: 30 header. Clients get a clear signal to back off.

Layer 3 — Staged sync-all with inter-batch delay:
  POST /sync now triggers sources in batches of MaxConcurrentJobs
  (default: 6) with SyncBatchDelaySeconds (default: 5s) between batches.
  21 sources → 4 batches over ~15s instead of 21 instant triggers.
  Each batch triggers in parallel (Task.WhenAll), then delays.

New config: JobScheduler:SyncBatchDelaySeconds (default: 5)
