AnimateDread 4f28165cd3 fix: remove broken DFA optimizer, use plain gradient descent ...

The DFA (Direct Feedback Alignment) option was never a correct implementation:
it deterministically flipped the sign of half of all gradients based on
connection index parity, causing permanent gradient ascent for those weights
and guaranteed divergence. The backward pass was also incompatible with the
OpenCL/DirectML neuron model (layer.Total() == 1). This change removes all DFA
logic, including the enum value and `DfaFeedbackSignal` method, and replaces it
with plain gradient descent in all momentum update kernels. The `optimizer`
kernel argument is retained for binary compatibility but is no longer used.
