feat: wire homeostatic_regularizer CUDA kernel into GpuDqnTrainer

Adds G16 homeostatic regularization that penalizes training observables
drifting from calibrated set-points. All 6 scalar signals use pinned
device-mapped memory (zero memcpy). Targets self-calibrate via EMA
during epochs 1-5, then freeze.
