feat(slides): implement all improvement report recommendations

~75 new slides across 35 decks based on systematic review of
slide content vs textbook chapters. All new slides have 5-component
speaker notes (LINK/NARRATE/ENGAGE/WARN/FLEX).

Quantitative exercises added (~20):
- Iron Law, roofline, memory budget, training cost calculations
- Chinchilla scaling, ZeRO memory, AllReduce crossover
- Tail latency SLO, DP noise calibration, Fermi estimates

War stories / case studies added (~8):
- Knight Capital $440M (deployment), COVID drift (data engineering)
- DistilBERT (compression), Tail at Scale (serving)
- OPT-175B failures (fault tolerance), Tesla IP theft (security)

Missing concept slides added (~25):
- Scaling law breakdowns, PFC deadlocks, checkpoint coordination
- Energy roofline, machine unlearning, robustness in GenAI
- Horowitz energy table, Pareto efficiency, diagnostic flowcharts

Generic backup slides replaced with chapter-specific content (all 35).
~15 new SVGs created for diagrams that needed visual support.
Section counters and pre-existing LaTeX bugs fixed across multiple decks.
