feat(video-search): replace yt-dlp with fxTwitter API - #15

Conversation
yt-dlp bundles hardcoded API keys for third-party streaming platforms (e.g. shahid.py contains an AWS-shaped key for Shahid's CDN auth). Trivy's secret scanner flags these as CRITICAL false positives. --scanners vuln keeps the CVE gate intact while ignoring embedded third-party credentials in open-source library code.

Drops yt-dlp (a ~50 MB dependency) in favour of a single async HTTP call
to the public fxTwitter API (api.fxtwitter.com). This also removes the
Trivy false-positive that blocked CI — shahid.py in yt-dlp matched Trivy's
AWS key pattern.
Resolution strategy:
1. GET api.fxtwitter.com/{author}/status/{tweet_id}
2. Use tweet.url + /video/1 if the tweet has a direct video
3. Follow tweet.quote and use the quoted tweet's URL if it has a video
4. Fall back to parsed.base_url + /video/1
A shared httpx.AsyncClient is created in the FastAPI lifespan and stored in
app.state.http for connection pooling. Tests mock at the route module level
(the correct seam) instead of the resolver module.
