Subject: [PATCH] Add adAnalytics example demonstrating the finder method (#32)

Addresses a common source of confusion around querying the adAnalytics
endpoint. Shows three usage patterns: account-level analytics by
campaign, daily analytics for specific campaigns, and creative-level
breakdown. Demonstrates passing dateRange dicts, URN lists, and the
fields parameter as native Python types.

Closes #32
