(improvement)TokenAware round robin policy and others - improved query planning.

Optimize TokenAwarePolicy query plan generation

This patch significantly improves the performance of TokenAwarePolicy by
reducing overhead in list materialization and distance calculation.

Key changes:
1. Introduced `make_query_plan_with_exclusion()` to the LoadBalancingPolicy
   interface.
   - This allows a parent policy (like TokenAware) to request a plan from
     a child policy while efficiently skipping a set of already-yielded
     hosts (replicas).
   - Implemented optimized versions in `DCAwareRoundRobinPolicy` and
     `RackAwareRoundRobinPolicy`. These implementations integrate the
     exclusion check directly into their generation loops, avoiding the
     need for inefficient external filtering or full list materialization.

2. Optimized `TokenAwarePolicy.make_query_plan`:
   - Removed list materialization of the child query plan.
   - Replaced multiple passes over replicas (checking `child.distance`
     each time) with a single pass that buckets replicas into local/remote
     lists.
   - Utilizes `make_query_plan_with_exclusion` to yield the remainder
     of the plan.
   - Added `__slots__` to reduce memory overhead and attribute access cost.

Performance Impact:
Benchmarks show query plan generation throughput increasing by approximately
4x for TokenAware configurations:
- TokenAware(DCAware): ~80 Kops/s -> ~355 Kops/s
- TokenAware(RackAware): ~75 Kops/s -> ~320 Kops/s
