feat(ml): add EnsembleModelAdapter + build_production_strategy(), harden metrics server

- Create EnsembleModelAdapter in ml::ensemble wrapping model IDs
- Add build_production_strategy() factory: 10-model ensemble with
  ProductionFeatureExtractorAdapter + graceful degradation (zero confidence
  when no checkpoints loaded)
- Wire backtesting_service to use the factory function
- Harden metrics HTTP server: 5s read timeout, 8KB request limit,
  correct Content-Type charset=utf-8
