Initial commit: in-process object_info cache + refresh UI

ComfyUI-Tenaciousload speeds up ComfyUI page loads for large model/LoRA
collections by caching the slow /api/object_info response in memory and on
disk (survives restarts) and serving it gzipped in ~milliseconds, instead of
rebuilding it (and freezing the event loop) on every load.

Adds a "Refresh Models / LoRAs" menu button, a graph node, and a
POST /tenaciousload/refresh endpoint to rebuild the cache after adding or
removing models. No external dependencies; no nginx/docker required.

"""
ComfyUI-Tenaciousload
=====================
Self-contained fix for slow / black-screen ComfyUI loading when you have a huge
model/LoRA collection (especially on a network mount).
The cause: /api/object_info is tens of MB and takes minutes to build on EVERY
page load (it re-walks the model folders), and the build blocks ComfyUI's event
loop the whole time. This pack installs an in-process caching layer that:
* caches the built object_info in memory AND on disk (so it survives restarts),
* serves it gzipped in ~milliseconds instead of rebuilding every load,
* exposes a one-click "Refresh Models / LoRAs" button + graph node to rebuild
the cache after you add/remove models.
No nginx, no docker, no extra port. Just install the pack and restart ComfyUI.
