perf(client): lazy child detection in BrowseAsync, NodeId-indexed UI notifications

R08 3.6: BrowseAsync no longer issues one HasChildren Browse per Object child; an
Object reports HasChildren (may have children) and is confirmed when expanded or
recursed. ISessionAdapter.HasChildrenAsync is removed. The UI subscriptions panel
routes each notification through a NodeId index kept in step with
ActiveSubscriptions (add/remove/replace/reset) instead of scanning every row.
