Feat: Implement distance-based deal prioritization and filtering

Implements smart deal prioritization based on distance from search point,
ensuring most relevant comparables are selected first.

Problem:
- Queried all polygons equally without distance consideration
- No filtering for deals that are too far away
- Street/neighborhood deals could be from distant locations
- No way to prefer closest polygon when multiple available

Solution:
1. Sort polygons by distance from search point (closest first)
2. Query polygons progressively, stop early if enough deals found
3. Calculate and store distance_meters for each deal
4. Filter deals by configurable distance thresholds:
   - Street deals: max 500m (configurable)
   - Neighborhood deals: max 1000m (configurable)
5. Sort by priority → distance → date (prefer closer deals)

Changes:

Config (nadlan_mcp/config.py):
- Added max_street_deal_distance_meters (default: 500m)
- Added max_neighborhood_deal_distance_meters (default: 1000m)

Client (nadlan_mcp/govmap/client.py):
- Extract polygon metadata with coordinates
- Sort polygons by distance using utils.calculate_distance()
- Progressive polygon querying (closest first, stop when enough deals)
- Calculate deal distance (use polygon distance as approximation)
- Filter street deals beyond max_street_deal_distance_meters
- Filter neighborhood deals beyond max_neighborhood_deal_distance_meters
- Store distance_meters on each Deal (dynamic attribute)
- Updated sorting: Priority → Distance → Date

Benefits:
- More relevant comparables (from nearby locations)
- Reduced API calls (query fewer polygons, stop early)
- Better performance (fewer deals to process)
- Configurable distance thresholds
- Transparent (distance info available in each deal)

Example Configuration:
export MAX_STREET_DEAL_DISTANCE_METERS=300    # Conservative
export MAX_NEIGHBORHOOD_DEAL_DISTANCE_METERS=500

Testing:
- All 326 tests pass
- Backward compatible (high default limits)
- Works with existing outlier filtering
