trivia: add 8 new categories + per-category dedup cache

New categories: anime, sports, food, history, geography, nature,
mythology, tv (14 total).

Add _trivia_recent dict that tracks the last 20 questions per
category and injects them into the LLM prompt as a avoid list,
preventing duplicate questions within a session.
