research(short-squeeze): 2026-04-12 — new short_squeeze scanner; high SI (>20%) as squeeze-risk discovery for cross-scanner confluence

Implements ShortSqueezeScanner wrapping existing get_short_interest() in finviz_scraper.py.
Research finding: raw high SI predicts negative long-term returns (academic); edge is using
SI as a squeeze-risk flag when combined with earnings_calendar or options_flow catalysts.
Directly addresses earnings_calendar pending hypothesis (APLD 30.6% SI was strongest setup).
