feat(sparse): CKKS sparse-packing bootstrap (CPU + GPU)

Adds end-to-end sparse-packing CKKS bootstrap. The user opts into a sparse
configuration with CkksBtpParam.create_sparse_param(log_slots) (or
.create_toy_sparse_param for N=8192 dev runs), and the existing bootstrap()
op in the DAG goes through:

- CPU: lattigo's native sparse path (LogSlots < LogN-1) via the new
  SetCkksParameterLogSlots SDK export. The ABI bridge encodes/decodes at
  the param's LogSlots, so sparse plaintexts pack/unpack correctly.
- GPU: HEonGPU's existing regular_bootstrapping_v2 once context.set_slot_count
  puts the encoder in gap_>1 mode. mega_ag_runners/gpu/gpu_wrapper.cu uses
  the static prime-chain helper ckks_sparse_bootstrap_chain_n16 (semi-public
  in HEonGPU; included explicitly here) to translate the frontend's dense
  CkksBtpParam into the sparse Q + level_starts that BootstrappingConfigV2's
  4-arg ctor expects. This is a translator, not a duplicate code path -- once
  the frontend learns to emit sparse-correct values directly, the branch
  collapses into the dense path.

Tests: test_sparse_bootstrap (CPU lattigo path) demonstrates the 1.32-1.59x
speedup at log_slots in [8, 14] vs the dense LogSlots=LogN-1 baseline.
test_gpu_ckks/cpu_ckks add CKKS smoke coverage. The example/
ckks_sparse_bootstrap_cpu/ shows the C++ and Python entry points for users.

Carries submodule pointers: HEonGPU 6675bee (sparse-packing CKKS bootstrap),
lattigo bb1b0bb (SetCkksParameterLogSlots + decoupled encode/decode).
