v1.0.71: SFTP connection pooling — reuse SSH session across all operations

Previously every listFiles/uploadFile/downloadFile/deleteFile call created
a fresh SSH connection (connect → auth → use → disconnect). For zahra's
folder with 69 subdirectories, the recursive listing alone made 70 full
SSH handshakes, then one more per downloaded file — causing connection
timeouts and 65 upload/download failures reported as PARTIAL.

Now the provider holds a persistent SSH session and reuses it for all
calls, reconnecting automatically if the connection drops.
