feat: add POST /batch endpoint for parallel multi-tab execution

Execute multiple commands across tabs in a single HTTP request.
Commands targeting different tabs run concurrently via Promise.allSettled.
Commands targeting the same tab run sequentially within that group.

Features:
- Batch-safe command subset (text, goto, click, snapshot, screenshot, etc.)
- newtab/closetab as special commands within batch
- SSE streaming mode (stream: true) for partial results
- Per-command error isolation (one tab failing doesn't abort the batch)
- Max 50 commands per batch, soft batch-level timeout

A 143-page crawl drops from ~45 min (serial HTTP) to ~5 min (20 tabs
in parallel, batched commands).
