feat(pi05): implement Classifier-Free Guidance (CFG) inference

Add dual-path denoising with configurable cfg_beta scale for language-
conditioned action generation. When cfg_beta > 1.0, VLM prefills both
conditioned and unconditional prompts, and action expert velocities are
interpolated via v = v_uncond + β*(v_cond - v_uncond).
