fix: RSS feeds show stale data for rebuilt packages

Use Max() instead of Min() for the added_at timestamp aggregation so
feeds reflect the most recently added file for each (name, version)
pair. Append a timestamp fragment to the guid so RSS readers treat
rebuilds as new items. Raise UPDATES_LIMIT from 100 to 500 for indexes
with large batch promotions.

Fixes #1374
