fix(news): robust gnews URL extraction + smarter lazy trigger

- Replace fragile entry.get("link") with _gnews_entry_url() helper that
  checks entry.link attribute then falls back to entry.links[].href,
  fixing cases where feedparser puts the URL in a non-standard location
- Lazy news re-fetch on bill detail now only triggers when the stored
  trend score confirms gnews_count > 0, preventing endless re-queuing
  for bills with genuinely no news coverage
