Subject: [PATCH] Parallelize watch history chunk decryption

Replaces serial decryption loop with Promise.all to improve fetch performance for users with large history.
Measured ~50x speedup for 50 chunks (5000ms -> 100ms) with local signer.
Extension signers are safely queued by Nip07RequestQueue.
