feat: Ensemble multi-head Q-network with KL diversity loss (Task 5)

Adds K independent value/advantage head weight sets sharing a common DQN
trunk. Provides uncertainty estimation (Q-value variance across heads) and
diversity regularization (KL divergence between head distributions).

Architecture:
- Head 0 stays inside CUDA Graph (zero overhead for ensemble_count=1 default)
- Heads 1..K-1 run outside CUDA Graph using post-graph save_h_s2 activations
- DtoD clone of head weights at init with stream-sync; diversity grows over training
- Pairwise KL uses symmetrized Jensen–Shannon divergence for numerical stability

New files:
- ensemble_kernels.cu: two NVRTC kernels — ensemble_aggregate_kernel (mean/var
  Q-values across K heads) and ensemble_diversity_kernel (hierarchical warp→block
  reduction matching dqn_grad_norm_kernel pattern, no flat atomicAdd)
- compile_ensemble_kernels() function in gpu_dqn_trainer.rs
- New GpuDqnTrainer accessors: on_v_logits_buf(), tg_h_v_scratch_ptr()

FusedTrainingCtx changes:
- ensemble_extra_heads: Vec<(DuelingWeightSet, BranchingWeightSet)>
- Pre-allocated GPU buffers (logits, mean_q, var_q, diversity_loss)
- run_ensemble_step() method runs after CUDA Graph replay (EventTrackingGuard)
- Wired in run_full_step() between IQN PER step and spectral norm step

Config: ensemble_count=1 (default, zero overhead), ensemble_diversity_weight=0.01

/**
* Ensemble Q-Network kernels — aggregate and diversity loss.
*
* Two kernels for ensemble training with K independent value/advantage head
* weight sets sharing a common DQN trunk:
*
* 1. ensemble_aggregate_kernel — compute mean and variance of Q-values across
* K heads (uncertainty estimation).
*
* 2. ensemble_diversity_kernel — pairwise KL divergence between softmax
* distributions of C51 head logits (diversity regularization).
* Uses warp-level → block-level → atomicAdd-per-block hierarchical reduction
* matching the pattern in dqn_grad_norm_kernel.
*
* No #include of common_device_functions.cuh is needed here — the build
* function in gpu_dqn_trainer.rs prepends it via string concatenation.
