Lukas 44a5a3d70e Fix geo cache write performance: batch commits, read-only GETs, dirty flush
- Remove per-IP db.commit() from _persist_entry() and _persist_neg_entry();
  add a single commit after the full lookup_batch() chunk loop instead.
  Reduces commits from ~5,200 to 1 per bans/by-country request.

- Remove db dependency from GET /api/dashboard/bans and
  GET /api/dashboard/bans/by-country; pass app_db=None so no SQLite
  writes occur during read-only requests.

- Add _dirty set to geo_service; _store() marks resolved IPs dirty.
  New flush_dirty(db) batch-upserts all dirty entries in one transaction.
  New geo_cache_flush APScheduler task flushes every 60 s so geo data
  is persisted without blocking requests.

"""Geo service.
Resolves IP addresses to their country, ASN, and organisation using the
`ip-api.com <http://ip-api.com>`_ JSON API. Results are cached in two tiers:
1. **In-memory dict** — fastest; survives for the life of the process.
2. **Persistent SQLite table** (``geo_cache``) — survives restarts; loaded
into the in-memory dict during application startup via
:func:`load_cache_from_db`.
Only *successful* lookups (those returning a non-``None`` ``country_code``)
are written to the persistent cache. Failed lookups are **not** cached so
they will be retried on the next request.
For bulk operations the batch endpoint ``http://ip-api.com/batch`` is used
(up to 100 IPs per HTTP call) which is far more efficient than one-at-a-time
requests. Use :func:`lookup_batch` from the ban or blocklist services.
Usage::
import aiohttp
import aiosqlite
from app.services import geo_service
# warm the cache from the persistent store at startup
async with aiosqlite.connect("bangui.db") as db:
await geo_service.load_cache_from_db(db)
async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
# single lookup
info = await geo_service.lookup("1.2.3.4", session)
if info:
print(info.country_code) # "DE"
# bulk lookup (more efficient for large sets)
geo_map = await geo_service.lookup_batch(["1.2.3.4", "5.6.7.8"], session)
