The markdown library's conversion collapsed blockquote lines into a
single paragraph, causing all deal info to render on one line in Matrix
clients. Build HTML directly with <br> tags for reliable line breaks.
Also adds html.escape() for proper escaping of titles and prices, and
removes the unused markdown dependency.

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.

Fetches live exchange rates from the Frankfurter API (ECB data, free,
no API key) and displays converted prices alongside USD in every deal
message. Rates are cached in memory and auto-refreshed hourly.
