Louis King e93c7fd9d6 fix: re-evaluate route_result synchronously after route create/update
Reported symptom: user edits a Route (e.g. lowers packet_count_threshold
from 6 to 3), and the routes list card still shows the old threshold for
~30s. The cache stack was exonerated — x-cache: MISS on the stale GET,
response body had the new packet_count_threshold=3, but route_result.
threshold remained at 6.

Root cause was neither HTTP cache nor Redis cache. The list card's stats
row (renderStatsRow in routes.js:82) displays route_result.threshold /
effective_clear / matched_count, which are persisted by the background
route_evaluator on a 30-60s schedule — separate DB row from the route's
direct fields. The PUT handler updated the route row immediately but
never triggered a re-evaluation, so route_result carried the stale
snapshot from the prior evaluator cycle until the next sweep.

Fix: add _reevaluate_route(session, route) helper that runs evaluate_route
+ upsert_route_result synchronously after the route commit. Called from
create_route (initial evaluation) and update_route (refresh on every
config change). Disabled routes short-circuit (no point evaluating a
route that's turned off). One bounded DB scan per write — same cost as
a single-route evaluator tick.

After this fix, the PUT response itself carries a fresh route_result
reflecting the new packet_count_threshold / clear_threshold, and the
next GET /api/v1/routes returns it. The list card updates on the very
next render cycle.

Tests:
- test_update_threshold_immediately_reflects_in_route_result: seeds a
  stale RouteResult with the OLD threshold, sends a PUT, asserts the
  response's route_result.threshold/effective_clear now match the new
  route config.
- test_disabled_route_does_not_trigger_evaluation: monkeypatches
  evaluate_route to a spy, asserts it's never called for disabled routes.
