Optimize form_filler: batch DOM reads into single evaluate() call

Instead of 60+ sequential CDP round-trips per step (isVisible, getLabel,
inputValue, isRequired for each element), snapshot all form state in one
evaluate() call, do answer matching locally, then only make CDP calls to
fill/click elements that need action.
