Revert "perf(pools): size image/rayon pools to the CFS quota"

This reverts the image-pool migration (commit 5629ba6). The bench
(bench_pool_concurrency / POOL-CONCURRENCY.md) measured the one pool it could
isolate — the thumbnail decode semaphore — and found flat throughput, p99 AND
peak RSS (137 MiB) from K=1..16: shrink-on-load already makes each decode
RAM-cheap, so sizing it to the CFS quota gains nothing measurable. Adding code
without a measured benefit isn't worth it.

Kept: the effective_parallelism() helper (it has a *measured* win in the Tokio
runtime — benches/RUNTIME.md) and the benchmark itself (reusable). The ffmpeg
video fan-out has a plausible a-priori case (one OS process per permit) but is
left as a future, deliberately-measured change rather than shipped on
speculation. Doc updated to record the decision.
