fix(xueqiu): add rookiepy as primary cookie backend, keep browser_cookie3 as fallback (#232)

browser_cookie3 has been unmaintained for 15+ months and breaks with
newer browser versions. rookiepy (Rust-based, 345 stars, updated 2026-01)
is now the preferred cookie extraction backend.

- xueqiu.py: try rookiepy first, fallback to browser_cookie3
- cookie_extract.py: same priority order, compatible API wrapper
- Remove bird CLI credential sync (bird repo deleted)
- 104 tests passing
