Diagnosis from yet another qlog round: streams/packet still ~1 even
with the prepareRequest/awaitResponse split. Root cause: openBidiStream
is suspend due to lock.withLock, and each call releases the lock between
iterations. The send loop is queued on the lock; it grabs it the moment
we release, drains the one stream of data we just enqueued, and the
next prepareRequest call has to re-acquire after the send loop releases.
Net: one stream per drain per packet, same useless coalescing as before.
Fix is structural:
- QuicConnection.openBidiStreamLocked() — public, lock-not-acquired
version of openBidiStream. Caller MUST hold conn.lock.
- GetClient.prepareRequests(authority, paths) — batch API that
holds conn.lock once, opens + enqueues all N streams in a single
critical section, releases. Send loop can't interject; when it
next drains it sees ALL N streams' data ready and packs them
into coalesced packets.
- Http3GetClient + HqInteropGetClient: implement prepareRequests
using openBidiStreamLocked under conn.lock.withLock { ... }.
- InteropClient's chunked-multiplex loop: uses prepareRequests
(batch) instead of N x prepareRequest.
Single-stream paths still use prepareRequest / get(); behavior unchanged.
The fundamental architectural improvement (per-stream / per-level lock
split, or actor-model dispatch) is a follow-up; this commit gets us
the throughput we need from the existing single-mutex shape by holding
the lock for the full chunk's worth of work.
