This adjusts mailbox prefetching to be more selective.
I'm not convinced yet this is the right approach or beneficial enough. Experimenting...
Today we prefetch the first page for every subscribed mailbox in the current account. That improves perceived folder switching, but it also creates speculative work for folders the user may never open in the session. This changeset keeps the existing prefetch mechanism, including the HTTP cache behavior added in #11293, but narrows the candidate set toward more prominent/likely-next folders.
The main goal is to reduce startup/background work while preserving most of the “open folder instantly” benefit from #10986.
This is intentionally experimental. The selection heuristic and cap are meant as a first pass, not a final tuning. If the trade-off looks wrong in practice, we can adjust the candidate ranking, the cap, or revert to broader prefetching.
