Fix CSV/JSON consistency, add time range filtering, and improve detection

CSV/JSON Consistency & Type Fixes:
- Fixed Prometheus query results to properly set OOMKilled/CrashLoopBackOff types
- Prometheus queries now track query type and set appropriate timestamps
- Removed FoundBy type from CSV - all rows now have proper type values
- CSV and JSON outputs are now fully consistent

OOMKilled Detection Improvements:
- Added oomkilled_via_pods_oc() to check pod status directly
- Now detects OOMKilled pods visible in UI that were missed by events only
- Checks lastState.terminated.reason == OOMKilled in pod status
- Extracts timestamps from finishedAt field for accurate timing

Time Range Filtering:
- Added --time-range option with configurable lookback window (default: 1d)
- Supports formats: 1s, 1m, 1h, 1d, 1M (30 days)
- Filters events by time range to focus on recent incidents
- Added time_range column to CSV output
- Added _metadata.time_range to JSON output
- Updated help documentation with time range examples

Constant Parallelism Model:
- Improved batch processing to maintain constant parallelism
- When one cluster finishes, immediately starts the next one
- --batch N now maintains N workers throughout execution (no waiting for batches)
- Better resource utilization and faster overall execution
- Updated architecture diagram in README to reflect new model

Documentation Updates:
- Updated README.md with all enhancements
- Updated architecture diagram showing constant parallelism
- Added time range filtering examples
- Updated output format documentation
- Added detection methods explanation

All changes maintain backward compatibility and improve reliability.

+- Configurable **time range filtering** (default: 1 day)

+- Runs **highly parallel** with constant parallelism:

-| Namespace batch  | 10      | `--ns-batch-size` |

-| Prometheus batch | Same as namespace batch | `--ns-batch-size` |
+| Layer            | Default | Controlled By | Notes |
+|------------------|---------|---------------|-------|
+| Cluster parallelism | 2       | `--batch` | **Constant parallelism**: When one cluster finishes, immediately starts the next one |
+| Namespace batch  | 10      | `--ns-batch-size` | Number of namespaces processed per batch |
+| Namespace workers| 5       | `--ns-workers` | Thread pool size for namespace processing |
+| Prometheus batch | Same as namespace batch | `--ns-batch-size` | Prometheus queries batched for rate safety |
+
+**Key Improvements:**
+- **Constant Parallelism**: Cluster processing maintains `--batch N` workers throughout execution. When one cluster completes, the next one starts immediately (no waiting for entire batch).
+- **Optimized Events**: Single API call per namespace fetches all events, then filters in-memory (3x faster than previous approach).
+- **Multiple Detection Methods**: Checks events, pod status, and Prometheus for comprehensive coverage.
 
-Prometheus fallback is **bounded and safe** for large clusters.
