YueGuobin c3b18f4ce2 feat(copilot): add dynamic wait time calculation for node startup
Optimize GNS3StartNodeTool with device-type-aware wait time calculation
   to significantly reduce startup time for fast devices (VPCS, IOU).

   Changes:
   - Add NODE_STARTUP_TIME configuration
     * VPCS: 15s base + 2s per additional node
     * IOU: 25s base + 3s per additional node
     * Other devices: 120s base + 10s per additional node (conservative)

   - Add calculate_startup_time() function
     * Detects device types via node.node_type
     * Uses fast startup time if all nodes are VPCS/IOU
     * Uses conservative time if any slow device present
     * Logs selected strategy and detected types

   - Optimize GNS3StartNodeTool._run() method
     * Retrieve node info (including node_type) before starting
     * Calculate wait time based on detected device types
     * Send start commands after info retrieval
     * Use calculated wait time for progress bar
     * Reuse collected node objects for status retrieval

   Performance improvements:
   - 1 VPCS node: 140s → 15s (89% faster)
   - 5 VPCS nodes: 180s → 23s (87% faster)
   - 1 IOU node: 140s → 25s (82% faster)
   - 5 IOU nodes: 180s → 37s (79% faster)
   - Mixed VPCS/IOU: 180s → 33s (82% faster)

   Documentation:
   - Update node-control-tools.md with dynamic wait time strategy
   - Add device type comparison table
   - Document performance improvements
   - Update changelog

   Code quality:
   - All comments in English
   - flake8 check passed
   - mypy check passed
