perf(feed): viewport-aware metadata loading with batched author filter

Two optimizations for feed metadata loading speed:

1. Batched author filter (FeedMetadataCoordinator.loadMetadataBatched):
   Single Filter(kind:0, authors:[all visible]) instead of individual
   per-pubkey subscriptions through rate limiter. Closes after EOSE.
   Follows ChessRelayFetchHelper one-shot pattern. Max 100 authors/filter.

2. Viewport-aware scroll observation (FeedScreen):
   snapshotFlow reads LazyListState.visibleItemsInfo (zero recomposition)
   with 500ms debounce + distinctUntilChanged. Only fetches metadata for
   visible notes ± 10 item buffer. Initial load batches first 30 notes.

Before: 100+ authors × 20/sec rate limit × 7 relays = 5+ seconds
After: ~20 visible authors × 1 batched sub × 7 relays = <1 second
