fix(history): implement thread-safe connection pool for SQLite to fix resource leaks (#35)

Refactors `SyncHistory` to use a `queue.Queue` connection pool instead of `threading.local()`.

Previously, connections tied to `threading.local()` in a background worker pool would remain open until the thread died, leading to a steady leak of open file descriptors and locked connections.

Changes:
- Replaced `threading.local()` with a bounded `queue.Queue` pool (size=5) of `sqlite3.Connection` objects configured with `check_same_thread=False`.
- Safely wrapped the initial schema connection in a `try...finally` block to ensure `close()` is called, fixing a silent file lock leak.
- Added `PRAGMA synchronous=NORMAL` alongside `journal_mode=WAL` for drastically improved concurrent write performance without sacrificing durability.
- Updated all database operations to borrow from the pool using a context manager, allowing true multi-threaded concurrency (concurrent readers/writers via WAL) while strictly bounding the total number of open database connections.
- Updated `close()` to gracefully drain the queue and explicitly terminate all pooled connections.
