fix(tibber): fetch forward-looking today+tomorrow via priceInfo(QUARTER_HOURLY)

priceInfoRange is a historical cursor connection whose range ends at "now": it
never returns upcoming slots. With it, the DB only ever held prices up to the
last hourly refresh, which caused two problems:

  1. The price chart could only show history up to now, never a forward curve.
  2. Worse, per-slot billing was subtly wrong. _tibber_strategy looks up the
     price via `starts_at <= t0` (nearest slot at or before the period). Because
     a period's exact 15-min slot was not fetched until the next hourly refresh
     (~1h later), intra-hour periods were billed with the PREVIOUS quarter's
     price and then locked in by the immutability guard — never corrected.

Switch to priceInfo(resolution: QUARTER_HOURLY) { today tomorrow }, which is
forward-looking AND quarter-hourly: today is always the full local day (96
slots) and tomorrow fills in once Tibber publishes day-ahead prices (picked up
by the next hourly refresh). Every 15-min slot's exact price is now in the DB
before the slot closes, so each period finds its own slot (accurate billing)
and the live current-price entity stays fresh.

Verified against the live Tibber API: fetch_price_range returns 192 points
(96 today + 96 tomorrow), spanning local today 00:00 → tomorrow 23:45, with
future slots present (previously 0).

# GraphQL query to fetch a range of 15-minute price nodes.
# ``priceInfoRange`` is a Relay-style cursor connection over the subscription's
# entire available price history. With no before/after cursor:
# * ``first: N`` returns the OLDEST N nodes (anchored at the subscription
# start date) — a fixed window that never advances, so it is WRONG for
# "current + upcoming" prices.
# * ``last: N`` returns the NEWEST N nodes (ending at the latest published
# slot: tomorrow 23:45 once day-ahead prices are out, else today 23:45).
# We want the newest slots, so we use ``last``. 192 = 2 days × 24 h × 4 slots,
# which fully covers the "today + tomorrow" window that GET /api/energy/prices
# queries (the earliest of the 192 newest slots reaches back past today 00:00
# UTC in either publish state).
# GraphQL query to fetch the forward-looking today + tomorrow price curve at
# 15-minute resolution.
#
# ``priceInfo(resolution: QUARTER_HOURLY)`` returns two node lists:
# * ``today`` — always the full current local day (96 quarter-hourly slots,
# 00:00 → 23:45 local), regardless of the current time.
# * ``tomorrow`` — the full next local day (96 slots) once Tibber publishes the
# day-ahead prices (around 13:0015:00 local); empty before that.
#
# This is deliberately NOT ``priceInfoRange``: that field is a historical cursor
# connection whose range ends at "now" (it never returns future slots), so it
# cannot supply upcoming prices. ``priceInfo`` is forward-looking, so every
# 15-minute slot's price is present in the DB *before* the slot closes — which is
# what makes per-slot billing accurate (each period finds its own exact slot
# instead of falling back to a stale earlier price) and keeps the live current-
# price entity fresh. The hourly refresh job re-runs this query, so tomorrow's
# prices are picked up within an hour of publication without a restart.
