This is a large refactor that aims to improve performance by offloading
RelayPool computations into a separate actor outside the main thread.
This should reduce congestion on the main thread and thus improve UI
performance.
Also, the internal subscription callback mechanism was changed to use
AsyncStreams to prevent race conditions newly found in that area of the
code.

This attempts to improve the performance of InnerTimelineView by
performing event filtering computations on "EventHolder.insert" instead
of on each view body re-render, to improve SwiftUI performance.

This feature is not production-ready, and is not essential for the
current scope of work, so descoping it and hiding it behind a feature

This improves upon a temporary fix we had for the RelayPool race
condition that would cause timeline staleness.
The root cause was that during app launch, the HomeModel would subscribe
to some filters, and the subscribe function would filter out any relays
not yet connected to avoid unnecessary waiting for EOSEs from disconnected relays.
However, that filtering would cause the subscribe request to not be
queued up or sent back to the relays once connected, causing the relays
to never receive those subscription requests and causing timeline
staleness.
This was fixed by separating the relay list used for the subcription
request from the relay list used for waiting for network EOSEs. This
allows other mechanisms to ensure the subscription will go through even
when the app is initializing and relays are not yet fully connected.

Previously, we combined the ndb and network stream within a "session
subscription" stream, which was teared down and rebuilt every time the
app went into the background and back to the foreground (This was done to
prevent crashes related to access to Ndb memory when Ndb is closed).
However, this caused complications and instability on the network
stream, leading to timeline staleness.
To address this, the pipeline was modified to merge the ndb and network
streams further upstream, on the multi-session stage, allowing the
session subscription streams to be completely split between Ndb and the
network.
For the ndb stream, we still tear it down and bring it up along the app
foreground state, to prevent memory crashes. However, the network stream
is kept intact between sessions, since RelayPool will now automatically
handle resubscription on websocket reconnection. This prevents
complexity and potential race conditions that could lead to timeline
staleness.

- Resend subscription requests to relays when websocket connection is
re-established
- More safeguard checks on whether Ndb is opened before accessing its
memory
- Cancel queued unsubscribe requests on app backgrounding to avoid race
conditions with subscribe requests when app enters the foreground
- Call Ndb re-open when Damus is active (not only on active notify), as
experimentally there have been instances where active notify code has
not been run. The operation is idempotent, so there should be no risk
of it being called twice.

This commit adds more safeguards to prevent RUNNINGBOARD 0xdead10cc
crashes, by:
1. Using the `beginBackgroundTask(withName:expirationHandler:)` to
request additional background execution time before completely
suspending the app. See https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/sigkill
2. Reorganizing app closing/cleanup tasks to be done in parallel when
possible to decrease time needed to cleanup resources.

Through some local experimentation, it seems that network relays can support higher subscription limits.
Increase internal limits to avoid hitting issues with subscriptions
waiting on subscription pool to clear and appearing stale.

This reduces the overall subscription usage throughout the app, thus
reducing issues associated with too many subscriptions being used at
once, and the resulting staleness.

This commit improves the loading speed for the home timeline (and likely
other areas of the app) by employing various techniques and changes:
- Network EOSE timeout reduced from 10 seconds down to 5 seconds
- Network EOSE does not wait on relays with broken connections
- Offload HomeModel handler event processing to separate tasks to
avoid a large backlog
- Give SubscriptionManager streamers more fine-grained EOSE signals for
local optimization
- Only wait for Ndb EOSE on the home timeline for faster loading
- Add logging with time elapsed measurements for easier identification of
loading problems

This commit takes a step back from the full local relay model by
treating NostrDB as one of the many relays streamed from, instead of the
one exclusive relay that other classes rely on.
This was done to reduce regression risk from the local relay model
migration, without discarding the migration work already done.
The full "local relay model" behavior (exclusive NDB streaming) was
hidden behind a feature flag for easy migration later on.

Rogue relays could in theory attack nostrdb by replaying ids and
signatures from other notes. This fixes this weakness by calculating the
id again in ndb_note_verify.
There is no known relays exploiting this, but lets get ahead of it
before we switch to the outbox model in damus iOS/notedeck
