docs(rl): write the API reference docstrings

Second module of Wave 4 (training & eval): brings src/lerobot/rl/ to 100%
public docstring coverage, following the standard in
docs/source/writing_docstrings.mdx.

- Documents the remaining gaps across the SAC algorithm (SACAlgorithm.__init__,
  CriticHead, CriticEnsemble.__init__/forward, get_optimizers), the
  RLAlgorithm/RLAlgorithmConfig base contract (optimization_step setter,
  from_pretrained), SACAlgorithmConfig (converts inline `#` field comments to
  a proper Args: block), ReplayBuffer/BatchTransition, OnlineOfflineMixer,
  TrainRLServerPipelineConfig (documents every inherited TrainPipelineConfig
  field, since the base class itself is undocumented and out of scope), and
  the actor/learner gRPC entry points (actor_cli, train_cli,
  transitions_stream/interactions_stream, LearnerService's 5 servicer
  methods) and their smaller helpers (queue.get_last_item_from_queue,
  crop_dataset_roi.mouse_callback, eval_policy).
- Also documents 3 dunder methods (RLTrainer's _PreprocessedIterator.__iter__/
  __next__, ReplayBuffer.__len__) that a naive "skip all underscore-prefixed
  names" gap scan misses but interrogate's ignore-magic=false requires.
- Removing the D-ignore surfaced ~30 pre-existing docstrings with D205/D415/
  D417 issues (missing blank line after summary, missing punctuation, stale
  Args entries that didn't match the real signature) across actor.py,
  crop_dataset_roi.py, gym_manipulator.py, learner.py, and
  learner_service.py — all fixed as part of this PR.
- Removes "src/lerobot/rl/**" = ["D"] from pyproject.toml's ruff ignore list;
  the whole module is now checked (no per-family split to narrow, unlike
  policies).
- Adds lerobot.rl to check_docstrings.py's MODULES_TO_CHECK ratchet.
- Creates docs/source/api/rl.mdx from scratch (algorithm base contract, SAC,
  replay buffer, data mixers, trainer, actor/learner CLIs and gRPC service)
  and wires it into _toctree.yml, cross-linked from the existing hilserl.mdx/
  hilserl_sim.mdx guides. Verified via a full doc-builder build — no dead
  cross-references, no leftover placeholder text.
- Ratchets interrogate's fail-under from 55 to 55.5 (measured 55.9% with this
  PR).

+[Train a Robot with RL](../hilserl) (HIL-SERL) and [Train RL in Simulation](../hilserl_sim). Algorithms,
+the replay buffer, data sources, and the trainer are gRPC-free and usable standalone; the actor/learner

-Training logs separate the full iteration into `dataloading_s` (`next(dl_iter)`), `preprocessing_s`
-(image conversion and the policy pipeline), and `update_s` (the optimizer update). `step_s` covers all
-three and drives `samples_per_s`. The benchmark above predates this split, so its `dataloading_s` includes
-preprocessing.
+The `dataloading_s` vs. `update_s` ratio is the diagnostic that matters: when `dataloading_s` approaches `update_s`, more GPUs stop helping — your dataloader is the bottleneck and you should look at `--num_workers`, image resolution, and disk speed before adding compute.

-OpenPI maintains an exponential moving average of the weights during training (`ema_decay=0.99` by default) and keeps the EMA copy for inference. To reproduce this with the LeRobot trainer, enable the EMA shadow with a constant decay:

-Checkpoints then contain a directly loadable copy of the EMA weights in `pretrained_model_ema/` next to the live ones. Note that the shadow is a full extra copy of the parameters on the GPU. Like OpenPI (which disables EMA in its LoRA configs), EMA is not supported together with PEFT adapters.
