perf: optimize gateway cold start from ~6.9s to ~460ms (#3918)

Channel lazy load: discover_enabled() only imports enabled channel
modules instead of all 18 modules with heavy SDKs (telegram, discord,
slack, etc). discover_all() now delegates to discover_enabled().

Lazy OpenAI client: defer AsyncOpenAI() + httpx construction to
_ensure_client() with asyncio.Lock double-checked locking. openai
and httpx imports moved from module-level into _ensure_client().

Minor: lazy Nanobot/RunResult and CronService exports via __getattr__.

Benchmark: 6910ms → 460ms (-93.3%)
