Remove blocking CollectNow commands to fix heartbeat stability

Eliminates automatic CollectNow command sending on host connection which
was blocking the main message processing loop for up to 5 seconds per
command. Since agents transmit cached data every 2 seconds anyway, the
CollectNow optimization provided minimal benefit while causing heartbeat
detection issues. Also removes unused send_command wrapper method.

This should completely resolve intermittent host connection dropping.
