Users can now choose between CheapShark, ITAD, or both via the
DEAL_SOURCES env var (comma-separated, default: "cheapshark"). When
"itad" is included, the bot polls GET /deals/v2 for current deals with
discount/price filtering and posts them with the same formatting style.
ITAD deals include built-in historical low detection via the API's
deal flags. Preflight checks enforce ITAD_API_KEY when ITAD is a
configured deal source.

The ITAD v2 API requires POST (not GET) for /games/overview/v2, and
expects ITAD game UUIDs in the JSON body rather than Steam app IDs.
Added a lookup step via GET /games/lookup/v1 to convert Steam app IDs
to ITAD UUIDs before calling the overview endpoint. Updated preflight
check to use the lookup endpoint for API key validation.

`python -m gaming_deals_bot --check` tests each external dependency
before starting the bot:
- Matrix: verifies access token (whoami) and room membership
- CheapShark: hits the deals endpoint
- Epic Games Store: hits the free-games endpoint
- Frankfurter: fetches exchange rates
- IsThereAnyDeal: validates the API key (skipped if not set)
Exits 0/1 so it works in CI pipelines and Docker health-checks.
