teernisse 53d65c2148 Add cascading fallback for deal titles instead of hardcoded "Unknown" ...

Replace the simple nil-title → "Unknown" logic in printDeal with a
fallbackDealTitle() function that tries multiple fields in priority
order before giving up:

  1. Title (cleaned) — the happy path, same as before
  2. Brand + Department — e.g. "Publix deal (Meat)"
  3. Brand alone — e.g. "Publix deal"
  4. Department alone — e.g. "Meat deal"
  5. Description truncated to 48 chars — last-resort meaningful text
  6. Item ID — e.g. "Deal 12345"
  7. "Untitled deal" — only when every field is empty

This makes the output more useful for the ~5-10% of weekly ad items
that ship with a nil Title from the Publix API, which previously all
showed as "Unknown" and were indistinguishable from each other.

Tests:
- TestPrintDeals_FallbackTitleFromBrandAndDepartment
- TestPrintDeals_FallbackTitleFromID
