ETL-style parallel markdown backfill with real-time progress

- ProcessPoolExecutor: 1 process per CPU core (bypasses GIL)
- ThreadPoolExecutor: 6 threads per process for I/O throughput
- Thread-local SQLite connections with WAL mode
- Manager().Value() for cross-process progress counter
- Real-time tqdm updates polling shared counter every 50ms
- ~19 pages/sec on 4-core system (4887 pages in 2 min)
