Daniel D’Aquino 438d537ff6 Add EntityPreloader for batched profile metadata preloading ...

Implements an actor-based preloading system to efficiently fetch profile
metadata for note authors and referenced users. The EntityPreloader queues
requests and batches them intelligently (500 pubkeys or 1 second timeout)
to avoid network overload while improving UX by ensuring profiles are
available when rendering notes.

Key changes:
- Add EntityPreloader actor with queue-based batching logic
- Integrate with SubscriptionManager via PreloadStrategy enum
- Add lifecycle management (start/stop on app foreground/background)
- Skip preload for pubkeys already cached in ndb
- Include comprehensive test suite with 11 test cases covering batching,
  deduplication, and edge cases
- Optimize ProfilePicView to load from ndb before first render
