fix(groot): address review findings for the N1.7 port

N1.5 removal is now explicit and actionable:
- Legacy N1.5 checkpoint configs (tokenizer_assets_repo) parse and fail
  with a single clear error pointing to lerobot==0.5.1 instead of a
  cryptic draccus DecodingError
- Removed N1.5 processor registry names (groot_pack_inputs_v3,
  groot_eagle_encode_v3, groot_eagle_collate_v3) are stubbed to raise the
  same guidance; groot_action_unpack_unnormalize_v1 changed semantics, so
  the step is re-registered as _v2 and _v1 is stubbed
- N1.5 detection also recognizes checkpoint config.json content
  (model_type/architectures/eagle backbone), not just path names; every
  rejection surface includes the migration guidance
- groot.mdx documents the breaking change and migration path

Runtime fixes:
- use_bf16=False no longer crashes (compute_dtype only set when used)
- GrootN17ActionDecodeStep handles the 2-D (B, D) actions delivered by
  sync select_action (relative eef/non-eef decode was broken in
  lerobot-eval/record flows)
- Postprocessor falls back to dataset stats when a raw checkpoint lacks
  the configured embodiment tag instead of silently emitting normalized
  [-1, 1] actions
- Hub-hosted finetuned N1.7 checkpoints load: the processor config is
  resolved via hf_hub_download for non-local paths, with a tolerant
  retry when inspection fails
- Raw-checkpoint processor branch honors caller overrides (device,
  rename_map) instead of dropping them
- Relative-action raw-state cache is per-instance instead of
  process-global (cross-instance contamination)
- Camera/modality-key mismatches warn, including the zero-match
  fallback; checkpoint revision is no longer forwarded into backbone
  loading; deprecated Qwen2VLImageProcessorFast replaced with
  Qwen2VLImageProcessor

Config/UX:
- GrootConfig defaults are the N1.7 values; explicitly passed legacy
  N1.5-era values (chunk_size=50, max_state_dim=64, ...) are remapped
  with a warning instead of silently
- Explicit action_decode_transform='none' wins over the libero_sim
  default (new 'auto' sentinel) and survives save/load round-trips

Tests/CI:
- pytest.importorskip guards so fast_tests tiers pass without
  transformers (was 10 failures, now 0)
- Regression tests for every fix; from_pretrained rejection tests now
  actually exercise from_pretrained
- Parity test reads the artifact seed, fails on shape mismatch instead
  of silently truncating, and a new case runs LeRobot's real Qwen3-VL
  preprocessing on raw observations dumped by the producer
- docs: dead huggingface-cli download replaced with hf download

"""Parity test: original NVIDIA GR00T N1.7 vs the GR00T N1.7 integration in LeRobot.
"""Parity tests: original NVIDIA GR00T N1.7 vs the GR00T N1.7 integration in LeRobot.
Verifies that the self-contained LeRobot reimplementation of the GR00T N1.7 action
head + Qwen3-VL backbone produces the SAME raw model output (``action_pred``, the
normalized flow-matching prediction before any action decoding) as NVIDIA's original
``gr00t`` package, given byte-identical pre-processed inputs and the same
flow-matching seed. The comparison is parametrized over every embodiment tag present
in the checkpoint.
Two comparisons run per embodiment tag, against per-tag ``.npz`` artifacts produced
once in the original ``gr00t`` env by the companion script
``utils/dump_original_n1_7.py`` (in the ``utils`` package next to this file):
To keep the comparison fair, the original outputs + the exact collated inputs are
produced once per embodiment in the original ``gr00t`` env via the companion script
``utils/dump_original_n1_7.py`` (in the ``utils`` package next to this file) and saved
to per-tag ``.npz`` files.
This test discovers those artifacts, replays the identical inputs through the LeRobot
model, and compares.
1. **Model parity** -- the self-contained LeRobot reimplementation of the GR00T N1.7
action head + Qwen3-VL backbone must produce the SAME raw model output
(``action_pred``, the normalized flow-matching prediction before any action
decoding) as NVIDIA's original ``gr00t`` package, given byte-identical
pre-processed inputs and the flow-matching seed recorded in the artifact.
2. **Preprocessor parity** -- LeRobot's own preprocessor pipeline (real Qwen3-VL chat
template / tokenizer / image packing + state normalization, no mocks) must produce
the SAME collated model inputs (``input_ids``, ``pixel_values``, ``state``, ...)
as the original package's processor, given the identical raw observations
(images, state, language) recorded in the artifact. Artifacts written by older
versions of the dump script carry no raw observations; this case then SKIPS with
a regeneration hint.
This test is LOCAL-only and skips on CI, when ``gr00t``-side prerequisites are not
present, or when no artifact has been generated. By default it looks for artifacts in
