Replace broken DDG search with AI thumbnail generation fallback

DuckDuckGo's HTML search endpoint now requires vqd session tokens,
making server-side search-based URL resolution unreliable. Simplified
the thumbnail pipeline:

- OG scrape only for non-aggregator URLs (direct publisher pages)
- AI image generation via OpenRouter for aggregator articles (Google News)
- Added Image Model settings field in admin UI
- Added thumbnail_local column for AI-generated images
- Updated public/admin display to check thumbnail_local as fallback
- Removed all DuckDuckGo search code (find_article_url_via_search,
  extract_ddg_url, resolve_article_for_scraping)
