Claude 0f7d8696de perf(geode): adaptive outQueue + CIO pool sizing for 10k+ connections
Implements geode/plans/2026-05-07-connection-scaling.md to push the
single-relay connection ceiling past the ~2k floor measured by
LoadBenchmark.connectionsHeldOpen.

- WebSocketSessionPump: switch outQueue to Channel.UNLIMITED bounded
  by an AtomicInteger backlog cap. Idle connections no longer reserve
  an 8 192-slot fixed buffer; lazy-allocated head segments cost only
  a few hundred bytes per idle session. Slow-client policy preserved:
  once outstanding > MAX_OUTGOING_BUFFER, the queue is closed and
  the connection drops, so NIP-01 ordering is never silently
  violated.
- LocalRelayServer / RelayConfig.NetworkSection: expose CIO
  connectionGroupSize / workerGroupSize / callGroupSize so big-VM
  operators can tune Ktor's event-loop pools without forking. Switch
  to the serverConfig {} + configure {} embeddedServer overload so
  CIO tunables can be set.
- LoadBenchmark: add connectionsHeldOpen10k (asserts 10 000 idle
  WebSockets settle under a 1 GiB heap ceiling) and
  connectionsHeldOpenWithFanout (5 000 subscribers, 10 EPS fan-out
  for 10 s, reports p50/p99 last-fanout latency).
- config.example.toml: document the three CIO tunables and the
  ulimit -n requirement for operators targeting >1k connections.

# Ktor CIO event-loop pool sizing. Leave commented-out for sensible
# per-CPU defaults (typical for <2k concurrent connections). Lift on
# big-VM deployments targeting 10k+ connections — over-threading at
# low connection counts hurts L1/L2 cache locality, so always
# benchmark before/after when tuning these.
#
# Operators targeting >1k concurrent WebSockets should also raise the
# OS file-descriptor limit: `ulimit -n 65536` (or higher) before
# launching, plus a matching `LimitNOFILE=` in any systemd unit. The
# default of 1024 on most distros caps the relay well below 1k FDs
