Vito Sansevero 77f9f09443 perf(images): run image work on two own pools and trim after jobs (#523)
Image work no longer spreads over the default executor's threads, where
glibc kept an image-sized malloc arena per thread.

- Interactive image work (view previews behind their gate, workspace card
  facts, both inspector routes) runs on the API's fixed pm-image pool of
  3 threads; the on-demand preview pool is merged into it.
- map_parallel (scan metadata, thumbnail and convert jobs, the legacy
  gallery generation, capture previews) shares one long-lived pm-worker
  pool of Worker threads, reused between jobs. The package teardown stops
  it within its bound (part "workers").
- After a scan, thumbnail or convert job, glibc's malloc_trim(0) returns
  free pages once; a no-op on Windows, macOS and musl.
- tools/perf/memory_drive.py measures RSS, heap, threads and arenas under
  the #523 load on the disposable browser test server (manual only).

"""Give glibc's free heap pages back to the OS after a long image job (#523).
Image work (decode, resize, encode) leaves image-sized free blocks in the
malloc arenas of the threads that did it; glibc keeps those pages resident.
``release_free_memory`` calls ``malloc_trim(0)`` once, which returns the free
pages of every arena and changes no allocator setting (no ``mallopt``, no
``MALLOC_ARENA_MAX``: ComfyUI owns this process's allocator).
glibc only: on Windows, macOS and musl (Alpine) it does nothing. It never
raises; a missing or failing ``malloc_trim`` is a quiet ``False``.
