post-validation cleanup: cuDNN runtime + repetition penalty
Two followups from the live single-GPU validation pass.

1. deploy.sh now ensures libcudnn.so.9 is available on each neuron
   host before installing/upgrading the package. Probes ldconfig first
   so hosts with a manual (tar/runfile) cuDNN install are untouched,
   then adds NVIDIA's RHEL9 CUDA repo (the Fedora 43 CUDA repo doesn't
   ship cuDNN; only the RHEL9 one does) and installs libcudnn9-cuda-13.
   benjy hit "cannot open shared object file: libcudnn.so.9" during
   validation; this prevents that recurring.

2. candle.rs applies a 1.1 repetition penalty over the last 64
   generated tokens before sampling, in both the non-streaming
   chat_completion path and the streaming chat_completion_stream
   path. Without it small Q4_K_M models degenerate into "Wait, no,
   no..." loops once they hit a confident-but-wrong path; with it
   sampling stays coherent. Defaults match mistral.rs and llama.cpp;
   exposing the value via the OpenAI request (frequency/presence
   penalty mapping) is Stage 8 territory.

Both routes through a new sample_with_penalty() helper so future
sampling tweaks land in one place.
