perf: TLS connection pool + coalesce tuning for lower latency

[yyoyoian-pixel]

Summary

• TLS pool refill loop: maintains ≥8 ready connections in the background so acquire() never pays a cold TLS handshake. Connections are opened one at a time (no burst), with staggered expiry so they roll off gradually.
• Freshest-first acquire: picks the connection with the most remaining TTL instead of popping whatever is on top.
• Pool TTL 45→60s: connections live longer, reducing churn.
• Coalesce step 10→200ms: the dominant bottleneck is the ~1.5s Apps Script round-trip, so 200ms extra wait is negligible but packs 3–5x more ops per batch during page loads.

Test plan

• Tested on Android (Pixel 6 Pro) with full-mode tunnel
• Pool hit rate: 100% (zero cold TLS handshakes during requests)
• Batch sizes improved from mostly 1-op to 3–5 ops during page loads
• No regressions in connection stability or timeout behavior

@yyoyoian-pixel — pool changes are good (refill loop + freshest-first acquire + extended TTL). Merging.

The coalesce step revert from 10ms→200ms is a complete reversal of your own PR #674 from 4 days ago, which I'd want measurement data behind before flipping again — but 200ms is the conservative side and matches what we had before v1.9.8, so the regression risk is bounded. Merging it too.

For future timing-constant work, please attach a quantitative comparison (e.g. tcpdump batch sizes per N seconds across both values, or page-load p50/p95 on a known site) when proposing changes — gut-feel "feels snappier" can flip-flop fast.

Will ship in the next release.
