fix: Force refresh ccw-litellm status on first page load

- Add isFirstApiSettingsRender flag to track first load
- Force refresh ccw-litellm status on first page load
- Add ?refresh=true query param support to backend API
- Frontend passes refresh param to bypass backend cache
- Subsequent tab switches still use cache for performance
