v7-7: Implement Learner for dynamic C5 route switching

- Add SmallLearnerStatsV7 type + API to policy box
- Hook ColdIface refill/retire to collect stats (capacity-based)
- Implement C5 route switching: if C5 ratio < 30%, switch to MID_V3
- Version-based TLS cache invalidation for policy updates
- Evaluation interval: every 100 refills

Tested with c6heavy scenario: C5 ratio=12% triggers V7 → MID_V3 switch
