Parallelize per-dag auth checks in KeycloakAuthManager

[Andrushika]

• closes: Multi Team: /dags screen is very slow to load with multiple teams #69041

As the issue reported, users who use Keycloak as an auth backend are facing over 10 seconds of UI loading speed.
I took a look and discovered that KeycloakAuthManager.filter_authorized_dag_ids() wraps the result with cache/single-flight, but on cache miss it falls back to the base auth manager implementation. The base implementation checks each Dag ID individually, so Keycloak sends one authorization HTTP request per Dag ID during that filter call.

To address this problem, I use ThreadPoolExecutor to run the per-dag checks concurrently.
I tried to simulate and wrote a script for a local benchmark. Here's the result:
(50ms latency per request, measured with perf_kit.repeat_and_time.timing)

Dags count	Before	After
25	1.36s	0.16s
100	5.42s	0.55s
250	13.51s	1.37s

The test script is as following:

    ):
        for dag_count in DAG_COUNTS:
            dag_ids = {f"dag_{index}" for index in range(dag_count)}

            manager = KeycloakAuthManager()
            manager._http_session = build_slow_session()

            user = Mock()
            user.get_id.return_value = f"user_for_{dag_count}"
            user.access_token = "token"

            with timing():
                manager.filter_authorized_dag_ids(dag_ids=dag_ids, user=user, method="GET")
            print(f"  ({dag_count} dags @ {int(LATENCY_SECONDS * 1000)}ms latency)\n")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

However, I found it hard to reproduce the production environment as described in #69041... I would really appreciate it if someone could help check if this really solved the problem.

Looks fine to me. I have left 2 comments. Also, I believe you should expand test coverage (either by adding new unit tests or modifying exist ones) to include the new concurrency logic. In particular, it would be good to verify that ThreadPoolExecutor is created with the expected max_workers value (covering both len(dag_ids) and the configured pool size), while ensuring the existing authorization behavior is preserved in both the single- and multi-worker cases.

Thanks for all the review! CI passed and all conversations are resolved. This should be ready for maintainer merge when convenient.
