fix: drain SSE stream to EOF to prevent ~260ms latency on keepalive connections
In _handle_sse_response, the client called await response.aclose() immediately after receiving the first JSON-RPC response event. This early close left the underlying HTTP/1.1 keepalive connection in a half-drained state, causing the next request reusing the same connection to block for ~260ms before the server's response status arrived. Fix: remove the early aclose() and let the SSE stream drain to EOF naturally. The server closes the SSE stream after sending the response (sse_starlette.EventSourceResponse exits via break on JSONRPCResponse), so the loop exits naturally on EOF. Performance improvement: 37x speedup (265ms → 7ms per call in the reporter's setup). Fixes #2707
