uzunkuyruk 489b85ee1e fix(ddgs): bound DuckDuckGo search with a wall-clock timeout (#36776)
A single ddgs (DuckDuckGo) search could hang indefinitely and block the
shared agent loop — and therefore every platform (CLI, Telegram, Matrix...).
The DDGS constructor's timeout only bounds individual HTTP requests; ddgs's
multi-engine retry loop has no overall cap, so a slow/rate-limited response
could spin for 20+ minutes with no output and no error.

Run the synchronous ddgs call in a single-worker ThreadPoolExecutor and cap
it with future.result(timeout=_SEARCH_TIMEOUT_SECS=30). On timeout, return a
clear failure ("DuckDuckGo search timed out ... try a different provider")
instead of blocking; the pool is shut down with cancel_futures so a hung
worker is never awaited.

Salvaged from #37422 by @uzunkuyruk (authorship preserved). Re-applied on
current main (the PR's provider.py base had diverged). Added a load-bearing
timeout regression test (the original PR only updated the fake's constructor
and had no timeout-behavior test) — mutation-verified to fail without the cap.

Closes #36776.

"""Tests for the DuckDuckGo (ddgs) web search provider.
Covers:
- DDGSWebSearchProvider.is_available() — reflects package importability
- DDGSWebSearchProvider.search() — happy path, missing package, runtime error
- Result normalization (title, url, description, position)
- _is_backend_available("ddgs") / _get_backend() integration
