Fix SWAP inheritance, stalemate logic, add greedy warmup

- SWAP now inherits previous card's suit/rank for matching
- Observation encodes effective top card when SWAP is on top
- Fix stalemate: only hard passes (can't draw) count, draw+pass resets
- Add behavioral cloning warmup: pre-train on greedy policy before PPO
- 2p win rate vs greedy random: 60.5%
