feat(dqn): add IQN quantile Huber loss path in train_step (replaces C51)

Browse Source 
Add 3-way loss branch in train_step(): IQN > C51 > scalar. The IQN path
implements Dabney et al. 2018b using quantile Huber loss — no scatter_add
needed (bypasses Candle BUG #36). Also adds get_state_embedding() helper
to extract base Q-network hidden layer outputs for IQN, stores VarMap in
QuantileNetwork for optimizer access, and includes IQN vars in optimizer.
