Julian Pawlowski f92fc3b444 refactor(services): remove gradient_stop, use fixed 50% gradient
Implementation flaw discovered: gradient_stop calculated as
`(avg - min) / (max - min)` for combined data produces one value
applied to ALL series. Each series (VERY_CHEAP, NORMAL, VERY_EXPENSIVE)
has different min/max ranges, so the same gradient stop position
represents a different absolute price in each series.

Example failure case:
- VERY_CHEAP: 10-20 ct → 50% at 15 ct (below overall avg!)
- VERY_EXPENSIVE: 40-50 ct → 50% at 45 ct (above overall avg!)

Conclusion: Gradient shows middle of each series range, not average
price position.

Solution: Fixed 50% gradient purely for visual appeal. Semantic
information provided by:
- Series colors (CHEAP/NORMAL/EXPENSIVE)
- Grid lines (implicitly show average)
- Dynamic Y-axis bounds (optimal scaling via chart_metadata sensor)

Changes:
- sensor/chart_metadata.py: Remove gradient_stop extraction
- services/get_apexcharts_yaml.py: Fixed gradient at [50, 100]
- custom_translations/*.json: Remove gradient_stop references

Impact: Honest visualization with no false semantic signals. Feature
was never released, clean removal without migration.
