build(neuron): patch cudarc to expose Comm::abort/get_async_error (#17 Stage 2)

#17 Stage 2 (TP hang-recovery) needs to call ncclCommAbort on a LIVE
communicator from another thread — to unblock a collective wedged on a
dead/hung peer so the ranks can resync. No cudarc release (incl. main)
exposes this: the safe Comm only aborts in Drop, which can't fire while a
stuck thread holds an Arc<Comm> clone.

Pin neuron's cudarc 0.19.7 to a fork (grenade/cudarc @ nccl-comm-abort,
rev 4dff0be) adding three thin methods — Comm::abort, get_async_error,
and a raw comm() accessor — to be submitted upstream. The patch targets
0.19.x only; candle's transitive cudarc 0.17.8 stays on crates.io.

Foundation only; the watchdog + abort + comm-rebuild that consume these
land in follow-up commits (cuda-gated → validated by the blackwell build).
