improve stats calculation to exclude pause periods

- Modify newStats() and gatherPostedStats() to accept config parameter
- Add calculatePausedDays() helper function for pause period overlap calculation
- Update postsPerDay and totalPostsPerDay calculations to exclude paused days
- Prevent artificially low throughput during pause periods
- Add comprehensive unit tests for pause-aware stats functionality
- Maintain backward compatibility when no pause is configured

Fixes issue where Gos would post aggressively after vacation periods
due to including pause days in throughput calculations.
