feat: parallelize analyst agents for ~3x speedup

Run all 4 analysts (Market, Social, News, Fundamentals) concurrently
using asyncio.gather instead of sequentially. Each analyst gets its own
isolated message state and tool-calling loop. Cuts analyst phase from
~8-9 min to ~2-3 min (total analysis from ~11 min to ~4-5 min).
