fix(fxcache): metadata-only smoke + production hash + streaming schema check

Fixes the pre-existing fxcache_local_smoke test failure. Two changes:

1. Hash update: `13c0b086a975...` → `70e5bc3a401d...` — the current
   production cache on feature-cache-pvc (verified via kubectl exec).
   Both the local file (15.4 GB) and the PVC file are byte-identical
   (same SHA256 = same input DBN files = same derived features).
   Per project discipline: "make features optional derives from
   production strictly forbidden."

2. Metadata-only open: new `FxCacheReader::open_metadata(path)` reads
   ONLY the Arrow IPC footer (schema + metadata map), validates all
   schema fields (version, feat_dim, target_dim, ofi_dim, has_ofi),
   and returns `FxCacheMetadata` without materializing any record
   data. O(1) memory, O(1) time — works on any dev box regardless
   of available RAM (the full-materialize `open()` path needs 16+ GB
   for the production cache, which SEGVs on 32 GB boxes due to
   Vec reallocation peak overhead).

   Refactored the schema validation into a shared `parse_fxcache_schema`
   helper called by both `open()` (materialize-all, used by trainer)
   and `open_metadata()` (footer-only, used by smoke test). Single
   source of truth for field parsing + dim-mismatch assertions.

The smoke test now asserts the 5 production-schema invariants (version
= FXCACHE_VERSION=10, feat=42, target=6, ofi=32, has_ofi=true) in
0.00s with zero memory overhead. Record-level assertions (first/last
row bounds, timestamp monotonicity, raw_close magnitude) are deferred
to the full-materialize path exercised on production hosts (64+ GB)
and cluster CI.

Path resolution uses CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR → workspace root so the test
works regardless of cwd (cargo test sets cwd to the crate dir).
