Turn Nagle's algorithm off on the web server's connections (#170)

axum 0.7 set TCP_NODELAY on every accepted connection; 0.8 stopped, and serve
never set it, so each response sent in parts held its last small segment
until the browser's delayed ACK came back. On production's light traffic
nothing showed: small responses go out in one write. Under load it did.
tests/load, Nagle on then off: media range requests median 41.8 ms to
10.3 ms, p95 44.4 to 13.2, throughput 39 to 149 MB/s. Browse and sign-in
unchanged within noise; flag saves vary 80-195 ms either way, behind the
scan's writes, not the network.

 ### Fixed
 
 - Cover art up to 20 MB is shown, instead of nothing for anything over 5 MB, as for five of the Glass Cannon Network's feeds.
+- Seeking in an episode while many people listen answers in about 10 ms instead of 40, and files stream about four times as fast: each connection now sends what is ready without waiting for the browser to acknowledge the last part.
 - Artwork that could not be fetched is not fetched again for an hour, instead of on every page load, and the server's log says which image it was and why.
