fix: enforce TTL in MessageDeduplicator + use yaml for gateway --config (#10306, #10216) (#10509)

Two gateway fixes:

1. MessageDeduplicator.is_duplicate() now checks TTL at query time (#10306)

   Previously, is_duplicate() returned True for any previously seen ID
   without checking its age — expired entries were only purged when cache
   size exceeded max_size.  On normal workloads that never overflow, message
   IDs stayed deduplicated forever instead of expiring after the TTL.

   Fix: check `now - timestamp < ttl` before returning True.  Expired
   entries are removed and treated as new messages.

2. Gateway --config flag now uses yaml.safe_load() (#10216)

   The --config CLI flag in gateway/run.py main() used json.load() to
   parse config files.  YAML is the only documented config format and
   every other config loader uses yaml.safe_load().  A YAML config file
   passed via --config would crash with json.JSONDecodeError.

Closes #10306
Closes #10216
