perf(examples/fastwam): enable the measured recipe in the zero1 script

Turns on the flags the previous commits added, which is the only
training-visible change in this series: this script now trains with the
forward autocast off, `rmsnorm_impl=wan`, two compiled regions, and fused
AdamW. Anyone who was running it gets different numerics (bit-level, not
semantic) and different peak memory, so it is separated deliberately.

  --optimizer TorchFusedAdamW           +3.9%
  --cudnn-benchmark                     +1.4%
  --zero-parameters-as-bucket-view      +2.0%
  model.disable_train_autocast          +3.2%
  model.drop_all_true_cross_attn_mask   +0.8%
  model.compile_vae_encode              +1.6%
  model.mot_compile_blocks=both         +5.7%  (with model.rmsnorm_impl=wan)

Cumulative 82.9 -> 102.3 samples/s on 8xA800 at per-device batch 24, which is
within 0.8% of the upstream FastWAM reference on the same pod (103.28), i.e. at
parity given the 0.6% paired spread.

The header block documents each number, the measurement protocol (110 iterations,
10 warmed up, 100 timed, paired inside one sweep because cross-sweep drift reaches
3.4%), why `mot_compile_blocks` and `rmsnorm_impl` must move together, and why the
gain is batch dependent.

Two knobs stay off with the reason recorded rather than being enabled quietly:
`--no-check-for-nan-in-loss-and-grad` (worth ~1.4%, removes the divergence guard)
and `PER_DEVICE_BATCH_SIZE=24` (worth +7.9%, changes the effective batch size).

Convergence check at batch 16 over 200 steps against the unmodified script:
video loss tail-mean 0.18267 -> 0.18312 (+0.24%), action 0.13203 -> 0.13213
(+0.08%), no NaN, differences oscillating in both directions and decaying with
convergence. Single seed only, so this is evidence of numerical perturbation
rather than a proof of convergence neutrality.

+# `mot_compile_blocks=both` and `rmsnorm_impl=wan` must be set together, and the
+# pairing is conditional:
+#   * Compiling the MoT blocks only pays if the graph has no breaks. The TE
+#     RMSNorm and the Triton RoPE are opaque to Dynamo, so with `rmsnorm_impl=te`
+#     the compiled region fragments and throughput *drops* 7.2%.
+#   * `rmsnorm_impl=wan` (`F.rms_norm`) is the slow path in eager on torch < 2.9,
+#     where it decomposes into seven fp32 kernels - but inside a compiled region
+#     Inductor fuses it into one Triton kernel, so the penalty is never paid and
+#     peak memory even drops slightly (74.90 vs 75.06 GiB).
+#   * So: compiling -> `wan`; not compiling -> `te`. On torch >= 2.9 `F.rms_norm`
+#     has a native fused kernel and this should be re-measured.
+#   * The gain is batch-dependent: at batch 16 the step is kernel-launch bound and
+#     the same config is a wash. Measure on the batch size you will train at.

+# Two more knobs are deliberately left off:

+#                                        6.02 B gradients each step), but it
+#                                        removes the divergence guard.
+#   PER_DEVICE_BATCH_SIZE=24             worth +7.9% over 16 and fits in 75.06 of
+#                                        79.33 GiB, but it changes the effective
