Feature: get_news() expose count

[dhruvan2006]

Resolves #2075

Changes

• Updated get_news() in Ticker to get up to 200 news articles (previously 8-10)
• The method now fetches news directly from the ticker's news page (https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/MSFT/latest-news/) instead of using the previous search based approach which was limiting

Usage

import yfinance as yf
news = yf.Ticker("MSFT").news
print(len(news))

Warning

• Breaking change: The returned data structure/schema has changed. Further feedback is required on how to proceed.

Could there be an error if the count is greater than 200? Even if it isn't raised but simply logged?

Also the api returns a 404 response

Can you please show me what you did so I can try reproducing?

Yes, sorry. After some more testing (to get the exact response) I realized I was sending GET requests and you were sending POST. However I am now getting 200.

Can the default count be much lower e.g. 10 to reduce Yahoo server load? I know it's still one web request, but server-side probably different.

Default for get_news() is now 10 articles.
