Enables nsys profiling for CUDA graph node-level traces on H100.
Use --sanitizer nsys in argo-train.sh to activate.

Root cause: weight tensors packed sequentially in the flat params buffer
had non-aligned start offsets when preceding tensors had odd element counts
(e.g. bias of 51 atoms = 204 bytes, 204 % 16 = 12). cublasLtMatmul with
CUBLAS_COMPUTE_32F_FAST_TF32 requires 16-byte aligned buffer pointers.
Fix: pad each tensor to 4-element boundary (16 bytes) in both
f32_weight_ptrs_from_base (pointer computation) and compute_total_params
(buffer allocation). Added align4() and padded_byte_offset() helpers,
fixed shrink_perturb skip range and bottleneck gradient offset.
Switched compute type: CUBLAS_COMPUTE_32F → CUBLAS_COMPUTE_32F_FAST_TF32
(forward + backward). Explicit TF32 tensor core path, required by cuBLAS
13.0 on H100 SM90.
Deleted dead bf16_weight_ptrs function.
19/19 smoke tests pass on RTX 3050.

No cudnn feature flags remain after 6ba52425 — the devel headers
and libs were dead weight (~1.5 GB).

Align all 4 Docker images with local dev environment:
- ci-builder: CUDA 12.4.1/Ubuntu 22.04 → 12.9.1/Ubuntu 24.04
- ci-builder-cpu: Debian bookworm → Ubuntu 24.04 (+ explicit rustup)
- foxhunt-runtime: Debian bookworm → Ubuntu 24.04
- foxhunt-training-runtime: CUDA 12.6.3 → 12.9.1, nvrtc 12-6 → 12-9
All images now have glibc 2.39, matching the local build machine.
Binaries compiled locally or in CI will run in any of these containers
without GLIBC_2.3x version mismatch errors.

Both Dockerfiles already install mold v2.35.1 but the registry images
are stale builds without it. This change triggers rebuild-ci-builder
and rebuild-ci-builder-cpu pipeline steps via detect-changes.
.cargo/config.toml uses -fuse-ld=mold — without mold in the image,
linking falls back to the system default (slower).

The backtesting crate links libcuda.so.1 at runtime (via candle CUDA).
GPU-less CI nodes need the stub library so binaries can load, but
model_loader tests that actually use CUDA must be skipped. These will
run on gpu-training nodes separately.

The backtesting crate dynamically links to libcuda.so.1 via candle.
NVIDIA CUDA dev images include stubs at /usr/local/cuda/lib64/stubs/
but only as libcuda.so (not .so.1). Create the symlink both in the
Dockerfile (for future builds) and inline in the test script (for
the current image).
