refactor: resolve once per HTTPS connection, not per inner request

http_connect now stashes the resolved (config, slug, env) under
_FLOW_CTX_KEY after resolving, so request() can reuse it without
a second orchestrator round-trip. Plain-HTTP flows (no prior CONNECT
stash) still resolve in request() as before.
