NB2 Kaggle kernel-death fix

Version 5/6 died before the first epoch print. The data/label fixes are correct (soundscape positive labels: 3122), so the remaining issue is memory pressure during the first training epoch.

Use these safer NB2 settings before running:

class CFG:
    epochs = 2
    model_name = "b0"
    folds_to_run = [0]          # train ONE fold per Kaggle run first
    batch_size = 4              # micro-batch
    grad_accum_steps = 3        # effective batch 12
    num_workers = 0
    use_data_parallel = False   # DataParallel caused kernel death on T4x2
    max_train_audio_samples = None
    max_sc_train_samples = None

Then repeat runs:

# B0
folds_to_run = [0]
folds_to_run = [1]
folds_to_run = [2]
folds_to_run = [3]
folds_to_run = [4]

# B3, even safer
model_name = "b3"
folds_to_run = [0]
batch_size = 2
grad_accum_steps = 6

Also patch the optimizer loop: divide loss by grad_accum_steps, step only every N batches, and print every 100 batches.
