feat(common): sports_rankings -- the reconciled rankings (sports family 8) (#789)

* feat(common): sports_rankings -- the reconciled rankings family (sports family 8)

New hardware-free module src/common/sports_rankings.py, copied from
ledmatrix-plugins claude/family8-reconcile once the nine scoreboards made
_fetch_team_rankings, _choose_poll (three bodies each),
_load_division_team_ids, _passes_other_filters, _best_rank and
_is_ranked_game (two each) one body each. All of them live on the plugins'
SportsCore, so one mixin, SportsRankingsMixin, carries exactly those six
plus _ranked_positions and _poll_season_ended and the constants they read;
no manager gains a method it lacks today.

- Ranks are kept by ESPN team id as well as abbreviation, and a game with
  ids is ranked by id (ESPN lists Ohio State and Ohio State Newark both as
  OSU). The badge still reads the abbreviation table.
- A poll whose season's endDate has passed loads nothing, so no badge shows
  and the "ranked" filter fails open between seasons (ESPN served April's
  college basketball poll on 2026-10-12); read from the payload, no
  calendar, no sport names.
- College football's division rosters are asked for the season year
  (football's July rule; only that league has rosters, so no seam).
- choose_top_division_poll(): the one poll rule, for the dynamic team
  resolvers that expand AP_TOP_n.

- test/test_sports_rankings.py: the plugins' pinned cases (poll choice,
  which leagues are asked, payload shapes, hourly cache, the finished-season
  rows, the rosters' season year and caching, ranked/best rank/filter over
  colliding abbreviations), plus the host contract. Mutation-checked.
- test/test_sports_rankings_parity.py: with LEDMATRIX_PLUGINS, compares each
  body and constant with every plugin copy. Passes against
  claude/family8-reconcile; fails against the pre-reconcile tree.
- mypy ratchet, src/common/README.md, CHANGELOG (Unreleased, New modules).
- sports_shared and sports_rotation docstrings: the three methods leave the
  "stay per-plugin" list.
- docs/SPORTS_UNIFICATION.md: family 8 status and decisions; item 8 restated
  to match what measuring found (the standings branch never ran; the season
  year only matters to college football).

 ## Unreleased
 
+### New modules
+
+- `src/common/sports_rankings.py` -- sports consolidation family 8, once the
+  plugins made `_fetch_team_rankings`, `_choose_poll` (three bodies each),
+  `_load_division_team_ids`, `_passes_other_filters`, `_best_rank` and
+  `_is_ranked_game` (two each) one each: `SportsRankingsMixin` (`SportsCore`),
+  with `_ranked_positions` and `_poll_season_ended` beside them, and
+  `choose_top_division_poll()` for the dynamic team resolvers. Ranks are kept
+  by ESPN team id as well as abbreviation and a game with ids is ranked by id;
+  a poll from a season that has ended (its `endDate` has passed) loads
+  nothing, so no rank badge shows between seasons; the college football
+  division rosters are asked for the season year. A plugin may inherit the
+  mixin once it floors on the release that ships it, and deletes its copies
+  then.
