Changes:
- Fixed fire power at 3.0 (removes hitRateEMA power ladder noise that
cleared exemplars mid-battle and corrupted learning)
- Relative velocity encoding: input uses (velDir - bearing) instead of
absolute velDir, so exemplars generalize across Walls' starting walls
- Fix test winner detection to use per-round score delta instead of
rank field (rank in round_ended is cumulative battle rank, not round winner)
- Keep exemplars across power changes (no longer relevant with fixed power)
- Store lastBulletSpeed at fire time for accurate EVALUATE lead prediction
Result: 2/10 rounds won vs Walls (Nim); first-round win now possible from
round 1 when aimer generalizes from relative velocity patterns.
Bottleneck: sparse exemplars in early rounds; energy bleeds at P3 cold-start.

- Match "Walls (Nim)" instead of "WallsBot" — sample bot reports with "(Nim)" suffix
- Guard against unmatched bot (rank=0) so a missing entry doesn't silently flip the winner
- The rank comparison itself (lower = better) was correct; the stale name was the root cause

Adds TR_SAMPLE_BOTS env var support to point to external sample bots (Walls, Fire, SpinBot, etc). Updates test_bullet_economy.nim to use Walls from the sample-bots directory instead of custom WallsBot, removing the hardcoded path dependency.

Add --max-speed flag to TestBattleRunner (sets defaultTurnsPerSecond=-1 for unlimited TPS).
Add SNNBot_garage/tests/test_bullet_economy.nim: 10-round vs WallsBot, prints per-round and summary stats for tuning.
