feat: configurable LLM model, SERP cache TTL, structured logging, fix patent_id type

- Make LLM model configurable via MODEL env var, default anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet (#12)
- Expose SERP cache TTL as SERP_CACHE_TTL_HOURS env var, default 24 hours (#13)
- Fix Patent.patent_id type annotation from int to str in types.py (#14)
- Replace all print() calls with structured logging in analyzer.py and llm.py (#11)
- Add LOG_LEVEL config with basicConfig setup in config.py
- Add model and serp_cache_ttl_hours to config.py

Closes leeworks-agents/SPARC#11
