feat(config): add auto-compaction block and CLI wiring

Adds a configurable compaction section to portfolio-bot.yaml with
threshold_ratio, keep_recent_turns and an optional summary prompt.
Wires the new fields through config.Validate() and cmd/chat-bot/main.go
into agent.Runner.WithCompaction() so the runner can opt in to
auto-compaction at startup.
