H2: strategy-fingerprint metrics (conviction/sizing edge + category concentration)

Two deeper analyses, both pure from existing data (no new API cost):
- ConvictionEdgePct: return% of the biggest-bet third minus the smallest-bet
  third of closed markets. Positive => sizing carries information (copy
  size-weighted); negative => overbets losers (red flag). CalculateMarketWinRates
  now emits per-market (invested, returnPct) pairs consumed by
  StrategyMetricsCalculator.ComputeConvictionEdge.
- CategoryConcentration: Herfindahl index of category volume shares
  (specialist vs generalist), from the category-performance dict.
Stored on TraderAnalytics, exposed on TraderDetailDto. Migration
AddStrategyFingerprintMetrics. +7 unit tests (70 total, 1 skip).
