fix(espn): fetch a window's edge months whole, cap chunk requests per process

A soccer board with eight leagues logged ~90 NameResolutionErrors for
site.api.espn.com within a minute of every start on ledpi, plus
"update() timed out". ESPN rejects date ranges, so every league's
fortnight-either-side window became 29 day requests, several managers
fetched it at once, and each window got its own six chunk threads:
~450 requests per start with ~45 in flight, each request past a
session's pool a new connection and a new DNS lookup.

- fetch_espn_date_chunks() asks for a partial edge month whole once the
  window covers ESPN_MONTH_COVER_MIN_DAYS (7) of its days, and trims the
  answer to the window by each event's US Eastern start date, the day
  ESPN's dates=YYYYMMDD means (417/417 live soccer events matched). A
  29-day window over two months is 2 requests, not 29. A live poll's
  1-2 days stay day requests. A capped trimmed month re-asks only the
  window's days; an undatable event is kept. New espn_request_chunks().
- Chunk requests share one process-wide cap of ESPN_CHUNK_WORKERS in
  flight instead of six per window.
- A new process starts as if a range had just been rejected, so it no
  longer spends a doomed 400 per window at every start.

Live ESPN, soccer-scoreboard 2.39.2, alternating runs: ~450 -> 46
requests per start, peak ~45 -> 13 in flight, ~75 -> 30 DNS lookups.

"""A window's partial edge months are asked whole and trimmed.
The default scoreboard window -- a fortnight either side of today -- spans
two partial months, so it used to cost 29 day requests per league. ESPN's

on 2026-10-03, 417 of 417 soccer events), so a month answer trimmed to
