fix(official-bots): stream NNUE features as sparse indices to stop host OOM
Build & Test (NowChessSystems) TeamCity build finished

Densifying the 98304-dim HalfKP vector per item filled host RAM and crashed the
Colab runtime even at small batch sizes. The dataset now yields only the ~64
active feature indices; a custom collate carries (row, col) pairs and the
training loop scatters them into a dense [B, INPUT_SIZE] tensor on the GPU. Host
RAM stays tiny; GPU holds one dense batch transiently.

- NNUEDataset.__getitem__ returns indices via new fen_to_indices.
- fen_to_features now derives from fen_to_indices (kept for external callers).
- _collate_sparse builds row/col index batches; loaders use it.
- train/val loops scatter to a GPU dense batch; loss weighting uses batch size.
- Notebook: BATCH_SIZE 4096 -> 8192 (host no longer the limit; GPU is).
