feat(ml-alpha): Phase 1d.4 GPU-native backtest — proper SSM-stacker Sharpe verdict

Four new kernels in mamba2_alpha_kernel.cu:
  - backtest_per_trade_pnl       : [T, N] per-trade PnL with threshold filter
  - backtest_sum_reduce_f32      : block tree-reduce returns per threshold (T scalars)
  - backtest_sum_squared_reduce  : block tree-reduce returns² per threshold (T scalars)
  - backtest_sum_reduce_i32      : block tree-reduce trade counts per threshold

All atomicAdd-free via block tree-reduce in shared memory (per
feedback_no_atomicadd). Single kernel launch handles the full
threshold sweep across all sequences via grid_x=T, grid_y=ceil(N/256).

New module crates/ml-alpha/src/backtest.rs:
  - GpuBacktest::from_block(&Mamba2Block) — reuses cubin already loaded
  - GpuBacktest::run(probs, prices_t, prices_kt, thresholds, cost) → Vec<BacktestStats>
  - Returns: n_trades, mean_ret, std_ret, Sharpe (per-trade unannualised),
    hit_rate, total_pnl per threshold

Wired into phase1d_long_horizon.rs after the stacker eval:
  - Convert stacker_logits → probs via sigmoid
  - Upload probs + end-bar prices + (end-bar + horizon) prices to GPU
  - Sweep thresholds [0.00, 0.02, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25]
  - Print per-threshold table + best Sharpe operating point
  - GATE: per-trade Sharpe > 1.5 = deployable, 0.5-1.5 = marginal, < 0.5 = fail

Cost model: 0.25 price units round-trip = 1 ES.FUT tick = $12.50/contract.
Tunable via --cost-per-trade. Realistic for retail flow; brokers can
trade at half-tick or better.

GPU-pure on the hot path: kernels do per-trade math + reductions;
host only receives T (= 7 here) scalars per metric for final Sharpe
arithmetic. No GPU↔CPU roundtrip per trade.
