gqa short-context: exclude KV deploy from wall; correct HBM peak; batch scaffold

Metric fixes (test harnesses, deploy artifact + wrong constant):
- wall = max(t_end) - min(t_start): exclude the one-time KV-cache deploy
  from the measured decode/prefill step (it was 92-99% of wall, mapping-
  invariant, and masked the real per-mapping separation).
- PEAK_PE_HBM_BPS 128 -> 256 B/ns (8 channels/PE x 32 GB/s); the old value
  was half the modeled per-PE HBM BW, so hbm_bw_util read >1.0 once wall
  was corrected. All six short-context sweep CSVs regenerated/repatched.

Result: the four KV mappings now separate along a {64,32,16,8}-active-PE
ladder (decode 8-kv/1-kv = 4.8x at 8K, 7.4x at 64K), not "modest/tied" as
before; decode is bandwidth-bound at 46-76% of the 256 GB/s per-PE ceiling.

Report (S5.2 rewrite):
- Replace the tied-wall / 8x-per-PE-util claims (both deploy artifacts)
  with the corrected separation and a density trade-off (per-CUBE KV
  footprint, Fig 16 top panel switched to a wall-invariant metric).
- Add a projected latency-vs-batched-throughput analysis (marked
  projected, not measured): dense mappings win throughput, 1-kv wins
  latency; converges at long context.
- Regenerate Fig 15/16/17/18; fix plot script hardcoded ROOT path.

Batch experiment (Part 2, cube_base):
- Add backward-compatible cube_base=0 scalar to the decode kernel so a
  batched user placed at DPPolicy.cube_start addresses 0-based shards.
  Default preserves single-user behavior (32 decode tests pass unchanged).
- New batch harness (skipped): concurrent B>=2 launches hit a sim routing
  issue (sip0.cube0.pe8); single-user path verified. Concurrency fix next.
