Add reverse path response latency for PE DMA and PE_CPU→M_CPU

Model fabric response hop latency for PE-internal operations:
- HBM_CTRL sends PeDmaMsg response on reverse path instead of direct done signal
- PE_CPU sends ResponseMsg via NOC→M_CPU on kernel completion
- Add NOC→PE_DMA and PE_CPU→NOC edges in topology builder
- Make HBM BW test assertions dynamic based on topology efficiency
