runtime_api: ctx.launch honors DPPolicy.num_cubes + adds _auto_dim_remap opt-out

Two compounding bugs in ctx.launch's dim-translation path surfaced
by multi_user_* panels of milestone-gqa-llama70b (sub-cycle 4c step 2):

Bug A: _compute_local_shape divided by self._num_cubes (the topology's
cube count, 16 in default topology.yaml) instead of the DPPolicy's
effective num_cubes (4 for validation-scale multi_user). The tensor
allocator at context.py:471-484 already honored dp.num_cubes; the
parallel computation inside launch was out of sync. Fix mirrors the
allocator's eff_num_cubes precedence pattern.

Bug B: dim_map was keyed by value, so any scalar whose value
coincidentally equaled a global tensor dim got rewritten to that dim's
local value — e.g. d_head=64 colliding with K's global M=64 in
multi_user mode. Legacy bench kernels (va_offset etc.) rely on this
remap, so the fix is opt-out: ctx.launch(..., _auto_dim_remap=False)
preserves scalars exactly as passed. Default remains True.

Tests: 3 new dim-translation tests + 4-panel diag harness covers
single_user_* (PASS) and multi_user_* (advances to new SFR/axis layer
failure, tracked separately). va_offset + full attention spec suite
unchanged.

"""End-to-end engine drives for the four GQA Llama-70B panels (sub-cycle 4c step 2).
Mirrors the existing single_user_decode diag harness across all four panels
of the milestone-gqa-llama70b sweep (ADR-0057):
single_user_prefill ring-K/V kernel, intracube PE ring (8 PEs / 1 cube)
single_user_decode allreduce-mlo kernel, intracube PE ring
multi_user_prefill ring-K/V kernel, intercube multisip (4 cubes)
multi_user_decode allreduce-mlo kernel, intercube multisip
Each test runs the panel through ``run_bench`` with ``enable_data=True``
and asserts ``result.completion.ok``. Failures dump the engine's op_log
tail and the exception, mirroring the decode-diag harness format.

"""Phase 1 spec test for ``ctx.launch`` dim-translation bugs surfaced by
the multi_user_* panels of milestone-gqa-llama70b (sub-cycle 4c step 2).
The default ``topology.yaml`` has 4×4 = 16 cubes per SIP, so
``RuntimeContext._num_cubes == 16``. Multi-user attention panels run a
4-cube ring (validation scale) by passing ``DPPolicy(num_cubes=4)``.
Two bugs in ``ctx.launch`` make this combination silently produce wrong
kernel arguments:
Bug A — _compute_local_shape ignores DPPolicy.num_cubes
``_compute_local_shape`` in ``ctx.launch`` divides by
``self._num_cubes`` (the topology's cube count, 16) instead of the
DPPolicy's effective ``num_cubes`` (4). So a ``(M=80, K=64)`` tensor
sharded ``cube="row_wise"`` with ``DPPolicy(num_cubes=4)`` produces
a local M of ``80 // 16 = 5``, not the kernel-expected ``80 // 4 = 20``.
Note: tensor allocation already honors ``dp.num_cubes`` correctly at
[context.py:471-484](src/kernbench/runtime_api/context.py#L471-L484);
the bug is the parallel computation inside ``launch`` is out of sync.
Bug B — scalar args coincidentally equal to a global tensor dim get auto-remapped
The dim_map at [context.py:712-770](src/kernbench/runtime_api/context.py#L712-L770)
is keyed by *value*, so any scalar whose value coincides with a
global tensor dim gets rewritten to that dim's local value — even
when the scalar is unrelated. ``d_head=64`` coincides with the
multi_user K's global M = ``S_kv_per_rank * n = 16 * 4 = 64``, so
the kernel receives ``d_head = 16`` (the post-Bug-A local) or
``d_head = 4`` (the pre-Bug-A local) instead of ``64``.
Legacy bench kernels rely on auto-remap (e.g. ``test_va_offset.py``
passes global N and expects the kernel to see local N). The fix is
opt-out, not removal: ``ctx.launch(..., _auto_dim_remap=False)``
preserves scalars exactly as passed, default behavior unchanged.
Both tests fail today. Phase 2 fixes them in [src/kernbench/runtime_api/context.py](src/kernbench/runtime_api/context.py).
