perf: cache _replica_dict on Tablet for O(1) host/shard lookup

Build a {host_id: shard_id} dict at Tablet construction time and use it
in the two per-query hot paths that previously did repeated work:

1. policies.py (TokenAwarePolicy.make_query_plan):
   - Before: set(map(lambda r: r[0], tablet.replicas)) -- 372 ns/call
     (creates a new set, lambda, and iterates replicas on every query)
   - After:  tablet._replica_dict -- 18 ns/call (attribute access)
   - Saving: 354 ns/query (20.7x faster)

2. pool.py (HostConnectionPool._get_connection_for_routing_key):
   - Before: linear scan of tablet.replicas -- 199 ns/call (worst case)
   - After:  tablet._replica_dict.get(host_id) -- 73 ns/call
   - Saving: 126 ns/query (2.7x faster)

3. replica_contains_host_id (used by drop_tablets_by_host_id):
   - Before: linear scan -- O(n)
   - After:  dict 'in' -- O(1)

Total per-query savings: ~480 ns (both paths combined).

Memory cost: 224 bytes/tablet for the dict. Net vs original baseline
(416 bytes/tablet): still 136 bytes MORE, but the per-query time
savings dominate for any meaningful query rate. The dict is built
once at tablet creation (rare) and amortized across all queries.

Tablet.from_row is slower (186 -> 464 ns) due to dict construction,
but this runs only on tablet metadata updates, not per query.
