perf(core): Reuse HTTP connections between control plane and data plane
The engine clients made a new HTTP agent for each request. Each call
opened a new TCP connection.

Add a `keepAlive` option to `OutboundHttp.requests`. The client makes
one agent pair and uses it for all calls. Turn it on for the data plane
client and the control plane transport.

This change does not change durability or ordering guarantees.

What does n8n mean?

Short answer: It means "nodemation" and is pronounced as n-eight-n.

Long answer: "I get that question quite often (more often than I expected) so I decided it is probably best to answer it here. While looking for a good name for the project with a free domain I realized very quickly that all the good ones I could think of were already taken. So, in the end, I chose nodemation. 'node-' in the sense that it uses a Node-View and that it uses Node.js and '-mation' for 'automation' which is what the project is supposed to help with. However, I did not like how long the name was and I could not imagine writing something that long every time in the CLI. That is when I then ended up on 'n8n'." - Jan Oberhauser, Founder and CEO, n8n.io
