2add759f40 fix(odds): identify the odds requests to ESPN (#451)
The odds fetch used a bare requests.get, so it went out as
python-requests/x.y -- the one agent ESPN is known to reject. Around
2026-08-04 it began 403ing browser strings and bare custom tokens alike;
what it accepts is a token carrying a URL that says who is calling.
Every other ESPN caller in the tree already sends that header
(src/common/api_helper.py, src/base_classes/data_sources.py); this path
was simply missed.

It is the worst one to miss. Odds are fetched per live game from inside
the live update loop, so its failures are the ones that cost the caller
its whole update budget -- the same path the 5s timeout and the cooldown
were added to protect.

Sent via a session rather than per-call, which also reuses the
connection across a slate. Deliberately no retry adapter, unlike
api_helper: retries multiply request_timeout, which is 5s precisely to
stay inside the 30s operation budget.

The existing tests patched the module's requests.get, which this change
bypasses -- test_base_odds_manager was consequently reaching the real
ESPN and taking 404s. Both files now patch the session, and the new
tests pin the agent against api_helper's live value so the two cannot
drift apart the next time ESPN moves the goalposts.

BaseOddsManager - Base class for odds data fetching and management.
This base class provides core odds fetching functionality that can be inherited
by plugins that need odds data (odds ticker, scoreboards, etc.).
Follows LEDMatrix configuration management patterns:
- Single responsibility: Data fetching only
- Reusable: Other plugins can inherit from it
- Clean configuration: Separate config sections
- Maintainable: Changes to odds logic affect all plugins
