[perf]: opt-in batched classifier-free guidance for Wan/Cosmos

Run cond + uncond as a single batch=2 DiT forward per denoise step
instead of two sequential batch=1 forwards. Default OFF so this PR
has zero behaviour change for any user who doesn't opt in via
`use_batched_cfg=True`. Composes with hao-ai-lab#1372 Adaptive Guidance —
mutually exclusive at the gate level (AG selectively skips uncond,
batched-CFG forces both; running them together defeats AG's win).

Bit-equivalent to sequential CFG on H100 FA3 eager (SSIM=1.000000,
Wan 14B 720x1280x49f/30steps, 5 prompts). On other configs (compile,
FA2, smaller models) bf16 numerics drift slightly (~0.04 SSIM mean,
visually imperceptible per frame-by-frame inspection) due to
Inductor kernel selection and batched flash-attn numerics. Perf
delta is run-to-run variable.

Changes:
- fastvideo_args.py: new use_batched_cfg: bool = False field +
  --use-batched-cfg CLI. Auto-fallback to sequential when V2V/I2V/
  TI2V/action/camera conditioning is present (those carry batch=1
  conditioning tensors out of scope for this PR) OR when AG is
  active.
- entrypoints/video_generator.py: add use_batched_cfg to
  _FROM_PRETRAINED_CONVENIENCE_KWARGS.
- pipelines/stages/denoising.py: gated batched branch in main
  DenoisingStage.forward. Cats [neg, pos] along batch dim with
  shape-match defensive fallback, single forward, chunk(2),
  existing CFG-combine + guidance_rescale math reused. Other
  DenoisingStage subclasses (Cosmos25, Dmd, ...) unchanged.
- api/schema.py + api/compat.py: EngineConfig.use_batched_cfg
  field + legacy<->typed mappings (mirrors disable_autocast).
- docs/design/inference_schema_parity_inventory.yaml: inventory
  entry under fastvideo_args.moved.
- tests/api/test_parser.py: YAML-roundtrip expected dict updated.

Sequential CFG path preserved bit-for-bit for non-batched callers.
Other DiTs (HunyuanVideo, LongCat, ...) unaffected.
