Features
Added a new input field, openEndedDateRange, to enable searching for news published within the last specified hours, days, or years.
For example, 1h retrieves news from the past hour, 7d fetches news from the last week, and 1y filters articles published in the past year.

Deprecations
Input field extractImages was deprecated in favor of fetchArticleDetails.
This should better reflect the state of the Actor. Additional requests to article pages are needed to fetch not only images but also article links decoded from the format of RSS feed: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/.
