Add multi-channel support for stock updates

Bot now supports sending updates to multiple Discord channels simultaneously.

Changes:
- CHANNEL_ID accepts comma-separated list of channel IDs
- Config parses and validates multiple channel IDs
- Hourly and market close updates sent to all configured channels
- Update .env.example to show multi-channel format
- Document multi-channel configuration in README

Example: CHANNEL_ID=1442203998932304035,9876543210123456789
