feat(causal): wall-anchored timers — controller windows keep fixed wall length (RFC 007)
New timer anchor: insert_sleep_wall / scheduler::sleep_wall (exported) opt a Sleep entry out of the RFC 007 virtual-time shift, so it fires at its raw deadline regardless of injected delay. Featureless config is unchanged (the API exists but is identical to sleep). The causal controller's window/cooldown sleeps and the tsc_hz calibration sleep use it on the actor path (the OS-thread path was already wall). This fixes the controller's own sleeps dilating under its own injection — experiment windows stretched ~2x at 50% speedup (337ms -> 646ms injected/ window). Deltas were rate-normalized so results were unbiased; this fixes sweep cost, not bias. The general wall-anchored-timer-semantics jar item (user-facing opt-out) remains open; this lands the substrate. Test: wall_timer_ignores_injected_delay — wall entry fires at raw deadline while a virtual sibling in the same heap shifts. 13/13 causal, 34/34 binaries both feature configs.
