perf: reduce screenshot encoding time and XML parsing overhead

[sanjarcode]

Fixes performance issues reported in #1

• Scale screenshots to 0.5x before annotation/encoding (configurable via SCREENSHOT_SCALE env var)
• Set PNG compress_level=1 for 3-5x faster encoding
• Pre-compile bounds regex in tree/utils.py
• Move threading import to module level
• Remove asyncio.sleep(1) from lifespan

@claude, can you add some testing instrumentations, at general points (that are also in the master branch). So i can assess performancer changes. Ensure the logs are put into $branch-name.log, and they are git ignored, so I can see them without interference.

Performance Instrumentation Added

• Gather context and read relevant files
• Identify instrumentation points in master branch code
• Create perf_log.py timing utility (writes to {branch-name}.log)
• Instrument mobile/service.py: capture_data, get_state, encoding methods
• Instrument tree/service.py: get_element_tree, get_interactive_elements, annotated_screenshot
• Update .gitignore to ignore *.log
• Commit and push changes

What was added

New file: src/android_mcp/perf_log.py
A lightweight timing utility. On import it runs git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD to get the branch name (with / replaced by -) and writes all timings to {branch-name}.log in the working directory.

Instrumented points (all present in master branch code paths):

Label	Where
capture_data.dump_hierarchy	XML dump from device
capture_data.screenshot	Screenshot capture from device
capture_data.total_parallel	Total wall time waiting for both threads
get_state.capture_data	Full capture phase
get_state.tree_state	XML parse + element filtering
get_state.screenshot_resize	PIL resize() call
get_state.annotated_screenshot	Annotation draw phase
get_state.quantize	Optional quantization
get_element_tree.fromstring	ElementTree.fromstring() parse
get_interactive_elements.findall	XPath findall on the tree
get_interactive_elements.filter_loop	Iterating + filtering nodes
annotated_screenshot.draw_all	Drawing all bounding boxes
screenshot_in_bytes.png_save	PNG encoding to bytes
as_base64.png_save	PNG encoding to base64

Sample log output (claude-issue-1-20260404-1135.log):

Run the server from the project root and the log file will appear there automatically. Since *.log is now in .gitignore, it won't be tracked by git.
