feat(translation): pooled Interpreter session + manual sweep resumes after drain

- interpreter_client: shared requests.Session with a connect-only retry
  (connect=2, no status retries — we map 429/5xx ourselves) so a proxy reload
  is smoothed and the keep-alive connection is pooled across the sweep.
- translate_posts: on an interrupt (drain), re-enqueue after the Retry-After
  hint / default backoff instead of waiting for the daily beat; self-terminates
  via the health gate. Steady-state one-chunk-per-run on success is unchanged.
