perf: reduce Console and RichHandler import time by deferring unused imports

## E2E Results

| Import | master | This PR | Speedup |
|---|---|---|---|
| `from rich.console import Console` | 78.1ms | 52.2ms | **1.50x faster** |
| `from rich.logging import RichHandler` | 99.4ms | 56.9ms | **1.75x faster** |
| `import rich` | 18.2ms | 18.3ms | (already lean) |

## Summary

Defer module-level imports that are only needed in specific code paths, move annotation-only imports to `TYPE_CHECKING`, and remove dead code:

| File | Change | Savings |
|---|---|---|
| `logging.py` | Defer `Traceback` to `emit()` (only when `rich_tracebacks=True`) | ~20ms |
| `logging.py` | `from __future__ import annotations` + `TYPE_CHECKING` for `Console`, `ConsoleRenderable`, `Highlighter`, `FormatTimeCallable` | ~6ms |
| `logging.py` | Replace `pathlib.Path` → `os.path.basename` (also a minor runtime win) | ~4-5ms |
| `console.py` | Eliminate `import inspect`; replace `isclass` → `isinstance(x, type)`, `currentframe` → `sys._getframe` | ~10ms |
| `console.py` | Defer `pretty` to `Console.print()` | ~3-5ms |
| `console.py` | Defer `scope` to `Console.log()` (only when `log_locals=True`) | ~3-5ms |
| `console.py` | Defer `getpass` to `Console.input()` (only when `password=True`) | ~2ms |
| `console.py` | Defer `html.escape` and `zlib` to export methods | ~2.3ms |
| `console.py` | Remove dead `_svg_hash` function (unused since 113997ac, fixes latent NameError) | cleanup |
| `segment.py` | Remove dead `logging` import (`getLogger` assigned but never used) | ~2-3ms |
| `theme.py` | Defer `configparser` to `Theme.from_file()` | ~1.5ms |
| `syntax.py` | Move `Console`, `ConsoleOptions`, `JustifyMethod`, `RenderResult` to `TYPE_CHECKING` | eliminates console.py from syntax import chain |
| `protocol.py` | Replace `from inspect import isclass` → `isinstance(x, type)` | prepares for dataclasses removal |
| `repr.py` | Defer `import inspect` to `auto_rich_repr()` | prepares for dataclasses removal |

All deferred imports are still available at runtime — they're loaded when the code path that needs them is actually hit. The `TYPE_CHECKING` imports are annotation-only and never needed at runtime (files use `from __future__ import annotations`).

## Benchmarks

Environment: Standard_D2s_v5 (non-burstable), CPython 3.13.13, hyperfine --min-runs 30

### Per-module breakdown (this PR)

| Module | Time |
|---|---|
| `import rich` | 18.2ms |
| `Console` | 52.5ms |
| `RichHandler` | 56.4ms |
| `Syntax` | 64.7ms |
| `Traceback` | 92.5ms |
| `Markdown` | 103.0ms |

## Motivation

pip vendors Rich, and `Console`/`RichHandler` are imported on every `pip` invocation. These savings directly improve startup time for pip and every other tool that imports Rich.

## Testing

- `pytest tests/` — 952 passed, 25 skipped
- `mypy -p rich --no-incremental` — no issues
- `black --check` — passes

## Disclosure

This PR was developed with AI assistance (codeflash-agent). Benchmarked in a controlled environment (dedicated non-burstable Azure VM). All tests verified across multiple Python implementations.
