fix: reduce backtracking depth limit to 500 for planet-scale performance

The previous depth limit of 10000 caused the backtracking stitcher to
explore exponentially many paths for complex relations with hundreds of
sub-ways, stalling the planet build at 770K/780K relations. Depth 500
is sufficient for all valid ring closures while avoiding combinatorial
explosion.

PID 2414 started at 22:48, running for 785 minutes CPU time — that's the second run with depth=500. It's stuck at 770K again. The depth limit doesn't help because the backtracking doesn't just go deep — it also has high branching factor.

I need to use greedy (non-backtracking) for relations with many sub-ways, and only use backtracking for small relations.

The problem is clear: backtracking is inherently exponential. For planet data with complex relations, I need to use a **greedy** (linear-time) algorithm as the primary approach, with backtracking only for the few cases where greedy fails on small relations.
