perf(ClusterFinderCUDA): FP32 device pedestal and bulk memcpy drain
- Device pedestal arrays (mean/sum/sum2) are now float instead of
  double: halves global-memory bandwidth for pedestal reads/writes and
  eliminates FP64 arithmetic in the kernel (3.3x kernel speedup,
  15µs -> 4.6µs).

- Replace the per-cluster push_back loop in the D2H drain with a
  single resize()+memcpy().

Agreement check:

  • Cluster counts should match closely.
  • However, as the CUDA CF updates the pedestal once per frame rather than per-pixel, a small divergence after the first few frames is expected.
