perf+cleanup: skip feeds in crawl discovery; lxml link extraction
Two crawler-discovery changes surfaced while chasing fast-crawl wall
time on russell.ballestrini.net:

1. Feed-skip in BFS discovery: the bridge fetched feed/sitemap URLs
   (a multi-MB atom.xml among them) only for ingest_crawled to discard
   them. Gate enqueue on the existing _looks_like_feed_url so we never
   fetch crawl-infrastructure URLs — less wasted work and one fewer
   slow wave straggler.

2. lxml link extraction, DRY'd: the three duplicated BeautifulSoup
   html.parser closures (fresh fetch + 2 cache paths) collapse into one
   module-level extract_page_links() backed by lxml.html (C parser,
   releases the GIL so to_thread actually parallelises) with a BS4
   fallback for markup lxml rejects. Parse on a 24-page wave 3.5s->2.5s.

Honest scope: neither moves full-crawl wall time much — measurement
showed the dominant cost is the per-page HEAD+GET double round-trip on
a per-call ClientSession, not parsing. These are correct-and-cleaner
on their own; the wall-time lever (shared session + drop redundant
HEAD) is a separate change. lxml extraction is regression-pinned
against the BS4 fallback for parity.
