fix(hpc/gguf): F16 → F32 produces IEEE quiet NaN (QNaN) instead of SNaN

The f16_to_f32 primitive was producing signaling NaN (SNaN) for all NaN
inputs because it OR'd the shifted mantissa payload through without
setting the F32 quiet-NaN bit (bit 22 of the mantissa field = 0x00400000).
IEEE 754 recommends F16 → F32 NaN conversion preserves the payload AND
sets the quiet bit, matching reference implementations like the `half`
crate. SNaN produces implementation-defined behavior in some libm paths;
QNaN propagates cleanly.

Caught by the new regression probe in
lance-graph/crates/thinking-engine/examples/probe_jina_v5_safetensors.rs
step 1, which round-trips all 65,536 F16 bit patterns against
`half::f16::from_bits().to_f32()` as the IEEE-correct reference. Before
the fix, 2046 NaN patterns mismatched (bit 22 clear instead of set).
After the fix all 65,536 patterns round-trip bit-exact, covering ±0,
subnormals, normals, ±∞, and every NaN payload.

Finite values were unaffected by the bug and are unchanged. The only
behavioral change is that NaN inputs now produce QNaN instead of SNaN.

Premature-dismissal concern: any calibration measurement that touched
NaN values in the source through this primitive may have been
instrument-drift-limited. Earlier negative conclusions about γ+φ Regime
C (ρ=1.000 no-op) and CLAM HHTL correlations may be retest candidates
after this fix — see lance-graph/.claude/agents/workspace-primer.md
Rule 22 for the retest list.

Also corrects the ModelSource::JinaV5 docstring in hpc/jina/runtime.rs:
  - Removes the backwards F16-range claim ("F16 max ~65504 overflows
    BF16 range" — wrong; BF16 has MORE exponent bits than F16, so
    F16 values fit inside BF16 range with ~33 orders of magnitude of
    headroom; the lossy step is a 3-bit mantissa truncation, not an
    exponent-range issue).
  - Replaces the "F32 transient pipe" framing with the "F32 is a method,
    not a buffer" doctrine: F16 source bytes are the ground truth,
    upcast runs inline with zero Vec<f32> allocation, F32 values exist
    only in registers or stack windows during active computation.
  - Records the verified finding that the downloaded Jina v5
    safetensors at data/jina-v5-onnx/model.safetensors is BF16, not
    F16 as earlier canonical notes claimed.
