Quota guard: close the silent odds-api drain + reserve floor for MLB

Diagnosis (why 500/500 went unpaged): the only regular odds-api burner was
futuresService, which called axios DIRECTLY — bypassing the gateway, so it
never hit recordCall (the ONE place the WARN/BLOCK pager fires) and never
respected the 95% block. It only syncFromHeaders, which updated the counter's
number SILENTLY. oddsService (which does go through the gateway) only touches
odds-api when PropLine fails, so recordCall for odds-api effectively never ran.
Result: the counter could reach 100% with neither pager firing.

Fixes (a silent drain is now impossible, not just guarded):
- futuresService routes through gateway.fetch('odds-api', …) → counted, blocked
  at 95%, and reserve-gated. Closes the raw-axios bypass.
- Reserve floor in the gateway: a DISCRETIONARY call (futures/soccer) passes
  reserve=ODDS_API_RESERVE (default 50) and is refused while remaining <= reserve.
  The ESSENTIAL MLB prop-backup passes no reserve and may spend to the 95% block.
  → a futures/soccer drain can NEVER starve MLB's backup path.
- quotaTracker.syncFromHeaders (the AUTHORITATIVE number) now fires the same
  once-per-period WARN/BLOCK alert on a crossing — extracted fireThresholdAlert
  shared with recordCall. The header-only drain now pages.
- POST /api/internal/quota/test-alert (internal-key) test-fires the pager
  end-to-end so ntfy delivery is verifiable on demand.

Also (reality-corrected cadence): WNBA restored to the full grid. 2026-07-15
had two AFTERNOON WNBA games finished before the 22 UTC slot — 14 UTC (10am ET)
is the only slot early enough for a 1pm ET game's props, and on PropLine the
extra slots cost a rounding error. Soccer stays the only trimmed sport (the
real odds-api discipline). Assumption corrected by observed data.
