efiten 7e8b30aa1f perf: fix slow /api/packets and /api/channels on large stores (#328)
## Problem

Two endpoints were slow on larger installations:

**`/packets?limit=50000&groupByHash=true` — 16s+**
`QueryGroupedPackets` did two expensive things on every request:
1. O(n × observations) scan per packet to find `latest` timestamp
2. Held `s.mu.RLock()` during the O(n log n) sort, blocking all
concurrent reads

**`/channels` — 13s+**
`GetChannels` iterated all payload-type-5 packets and JSON-unmarshaled
each one while holding `s.mu.RLock()`, blocking all concurrent reads for
the full duration.

## Fix

**Packets (`QueryGroupedPackets`):**
- Add `LatestSeen string` to `StoreTx`, maintained incrementally in all
three observation write paths. Eliminates the per-packet observation
scan at query time.
- Build output maps under the read lock, sort the local copy after
releasing it.
- Cache the full sorted result for 3 seconds keyed by filter params.

**Channels (`GetChannels`):**
- Copy only the fields needed (firstSeen, decodedJSON, region match)
under the read lock, then release before JSON unmarshaling.
- Cache the result for 15 seconds keyed by region param.
- Invalidate cache on new packet ingestion.

## Test plan
- [ ] Open packets page on a large store — load time should drop from
16s to <1s
- [ ] Open channels page — should load in <100ms instead of 13s+
- [ ] `[SLOW API]` warnings gone for both endpoints
- [ ] Packet/channel data is correct (hashes, counts, observer counts)
- [ ] Filters (region, type, since/until) still work correctly
