Add game-simulation package with multi-run balance testing, fix stalled-pipeline trap
Balance Check / balance-simulation (push) Failing after 11m32s
Balance Check / multi-run-balance (push) Failing after 23m46s
CI / build-and-push (push) Successful in 1m20s

Adds a full simulation harness (game-simulation package) with greedy/random strategies,
36-metric diagnostics, multi-run orchestration via child processes, and a statistical
interpreter. Includes 2.3x engine performance optimizations (research bonus caching,
per-DC dirty tracking, reduced allocations in tick pipeline, single-pass loops).

Fixes a critical balance bug where training pipelines stalled on insufficient VRAM would
permanently block training slots — the engine never re-checked stalled pipelines, and the
greedy strategy didn't pre-check VRAM requirements. This caused 20-25% of seeds to get
stuck in Scale-up era. All three fixes (engine un-stalling, strategy VRAM pre-check,
stalled pipeline cancellation) bring pass rate from 75% to 100% across 20 random seeds.
