SGavrl fd2421940b Perf/cdp fetch cache and cookie alloc (#216)
* perf: cache HTTP clients + selector parsing + exponential wait backoff

Three low-risk wins discovered while reading the hot paths.

1. op_fetch_url cached its reqwest::Client. Previously every JS-side
   fetch(), XHR, and dynamic script load built a fresh client, which
   re-loaded TLS roots and started with an empty connection pool. On
   an asset-heavy page with 30+ subresources this added ~150ms of
   wasted setup with zero connection reuse. The cache is a process-
   wide map keyed by proxy URL (empty string for no-proxy), so the
   first fetch on each proxy pays the build cost once and every
   subsequent fetch reuses the same pool.
   Also bumped pool_idle_timeout to 5 minutes and tcp_keepalive to
   60s so connections stay warm for SPA-heavy workloads that hit
   the same origin dozens of times across a navigation.

2. DomTree::parse_selector now caches parsed selectors in a thread-
   local HashMap (cap 256). querySelector / querySelectorAll re-
   parsed the selector string every call before; batch DOM access
   patterns (an agent scraping a table row-by-row, a framework
   polling for elements) paid the cssparser cost N times.

3. browser_wait_for / browser_wait_for_text now exponentially back
   off (5 -> 10 -> 20 -> ... -> 200 ms). The old fixed 200ms tick
   meant a selector that appeared 30ms after the call still took
   the next full 200ms tick to be detected. Worst case is still
   200ms per check, but the median wait drops sharply for fast
   appearances.

28/28 integration tests pass. Asset-heavy bench (rust-lang/rust,
docs.stripe.com, etc) doesn't regress.

* perf: module loader client cache, fetch concurrency cap, snapshot hide list, cookie alloc

Round two of perf wins after a deep code audit.

1. ES module loader (module_loader.rs) was building a fresh
   reqwest::Client on every dynamic import. Modern SPAs (Next, Vite)
   load 20-50 chunks via dynamic import; each one used to spin up an
   empty connection pool with fresh TLS init. Now reuses the
   process-wide FETCH_CLIENT_CACHE that op_fetch_url already uses
   (the cached_request_client helper). Saves ~30-100ms on chunk-
   heavy first navigations.

2. Script and CSS fetches in execute_scripts used futures::join_all
   with unbounded concurrency. A 100-script page would open 100 TCP
   sockets at once, exhausting the connection pool and the OS
   ephemeral port range. Capped at 16 in-flight (well above the per-
   host pool ceiling real Chrome uses).

3. bootstrap.js __obscura_init() ran Object.keys(globalThis).filter()
   on every page setup to find internals to hide. The set of keys
   is static at snapshot-build time, so we now precompute it once
   (top-level statement just below the function) and __obscura_init
   just iterates the precomputed array. Was 5-40ms per page on heavy
   SPAs (1000+ globals); now ~0.2ms per page.

4. CookieJar::domain_matches allocated 2 lowercase Strings and a
   format! per call. The lookup runs per fetch per cookie domain;
   on a heavily-cookied site with 100 cookies across 30 domains
   that was thousands of allocations per page. Now zero-alloc with
   eq_ignore_ascii_case and char-boundary checks.
