- PR #107897: fix(telegram): reuse a small getUpdates keepalive pool off Windows (#107880)

These members address a bug where Telegram's getUpdates polling creates excessive TCP connections, exhausting ephemeral ports via TIME_WAIT accumulation on macOS and potentially other platforms. Fixes involve reusing keepalive connection pools to mitigate the issue.
