jgrusewski deed15b34e feat(ml-alpha): cfc_step_backward emits grad_x for upstream chain
Adds grad_x[k] = sum_i d_pre[i] * W_in[i,k] computed by thread 0 of
the cfc_step_backward kernel (after the existing __syncthreads in
the shared-mem sd_pre relay). Required by the stacked Mamba2 -> CfC
design: Mamba2.backward_from_h_enriched needs grad on h_enriched,
which is the CfC's "x" input in the stacked topology.

For the existing CfC-only PerceptionTrainer (x = snap_features, no
upstream learnable layer), grad_x is computed but discarded into a
preallocated buffer.

backward_finite_diff tests still pass (4/4) — the new arg is the
14th positional kernel arg; existing callers updated. perception_
overfit smoke still passes (loss 0.5669 -> 0.0665 in 200 steps).
