perf(cosmos): optimize partition key range cache memory usage

Three optimizations to reduce CollectionRoutingMap memory footprint:

1. Convert to compact PKRange namedtuples: Strip 9 unused fields from
   service response during _discard_parent_ranges (single pass, no extra
   iteration). PKRange supports dict-style access for backward compat.

2. Add __slots__ to Range class: Eliminates per-instance __dict__ overhead
   (~100 bytes per Range object, measured at 64 bytes with slots).

3. Skip redundant .upper() calls: Check if string is already uppercase
   before creating a copy. Service returns uppercase hex.

PPCB overhead reduction (tracemalloc, 150 clients):

| Clients | Original | Patched | Reduction |
|---------|----------|---------|-----------|
|      25 |  5.1 MB  | 2.1 MB  |     -58%  |
|      50 | 10.3 MB  | 4.1 MB  |     -60%  |
|     100 | 15.4 MB  | 7.2 MB  |     -53%  |
|     150 | 27.4 MB  | 6.9 MB  |     -74%  |
