Slightly prettier analytics URL

Downloads the latest dbip-city-lite-YYYY-MM.mmdb.gz before starting the
server, skipping when the local database is current, falling back to the
previous month on 404, and removing older databases after an update.
Promotes httpx to a runtime dependency.

-spread traffic out a little, while still keeping the overall run fast.
 
 Run against a local dev server, e.g.:
 
-    uv run scripts/fake_traffic.py http://localhost:3200 -b 8 -c 20
+    uv run scripts/fake_traffic.py http://localhost:3200
 
 Repeat whenever you want more traffic; each run appends new events to the
 site's analytics file.
