Fix NLL double-shift bug and head weight init

- NLL loss was shifting labels twice (olmo_labels already shifted,
  then code did logits[:,:-1] vs labels[:,1:]). Fixed in 9 locations:
  trainer, pipeline, olmo_graph, sanity_check, eval.
- Head U/V weights init with std=0.01 (was Kaiming ~5.7 std) so
  UV^T≈0 at init, ensuring Z≈logit_bias=15 and A≈0.953.
- Updated SVD rank test to subtract logit_bias before checking.
