perf: Optimize API Settings page loading performance

- Add forceRefresh parameter to loadApiSettings() with caching
- Implement 60s TTL cache for ccwLitellmStatus check
- Tab switching now uses cached data (0 network requests)
- Clear cache after save/delete operations for data consistency
- Response time reduced from 100-500ms to <10ms on tab switch
