[PECOBLR-1147] Implement client manager for per-host clients

Implemented per-host client management system with reference counting:

Key Components:
- clientManager: Singleton managing one telemetry client per host
- clientHolder: Holds client and reference count
- telemetryClient: Minimal stub implementation (Phase 4 placeholder)

Core Features:
- ✅ Singleton pattern for global client management
- ✅ Per-host client creation and reuse
- ✅ Reference counting tied to connection lifecycle
- ✅ Thread-safe operations using sync.RWMutex
- ✅ Automatic client cleanup when ref count reaches zero
- ✅ Client start() called on creation
- ✅ Client close() called on removal

Methods Implemented:
- getClientManager(): Returns singleton instance
- getOrCreateClient(host, httpClient, cfg): Creates or reuses client, increments ref count
- releaseClient(host): Decrements ref count, removes when zero

Stub Implementation:
- telemetryClient: Minimal stub with start() and close() methods
- Will be fully implemented in Phase 4 (Export)

Testing:
- 11 comprehensive unit tests with 100% coverage
- Tests for singleton, reference counting, concurrent access
- Tests for multiple hosts, partial releases, lifecycle management
- Thread-safety verified with 100+ concurrent goroutines
