Loosen source tiering for usage queries

Classify prompting and animation queries as how_to so the stack does not treat them as generic breaking news. Also keep X available for how_to and preserve YouTube/HN coverage for breaking-news and prediction queries.

Validated with uv run python -m unittest tests.test_query_type and the five-query local comparison run used for PR #65 review.
