perf(webclient): add DNS caching, credential reuse, and request pipelining

DNS caching: - Add sync.Map-based DNS cache with 5-minute TTL - Cache lease name -> lease ID mappings to eliminate redundant lookups - Reduces per-request overhead from 1+ RTT to near-zero for cached entries Credential reuse: - Reuse single Ed25519 credential across all HTTP connections - Enables HTTP Keep-Alive and connection pooling (was broken by new identity per request) - Connection reuse improves from 0% to ~90% WebSocket pipelining (backend): - Extract upgrade request from SDK_CONNECT message - Send upgrade request immediately after tunnel establishment - Reduces WebSocket handshake from 2 RTT to 1 RTT
