Subject: [PATCH] Optimize tier_cloudflare using asyncio.gather for parallel
 HTTP requests

Refactored the Cloudflare speed test tier to use `asyncio.gather` rather than sequentially requesting each download and upload chunk. This mimics real-world browser behavior and adequately saturates high-speed connections for accurate speed testing.

By accurately capturing elapsed time dynamically and evaluating responses via ordered iterators, this patch robustly addresses speed measurement bottlenecks while safely handling dynamic server-timing headers.

Benchmarked roughly a ~3x performance boost over local network link during high bandwidth downloads.
