fix: propagate FPGA AGC enable to MCU outer loop via DIG_6 GPIO

Resolve cross-layer AGC control mismatch where opcode 0x28 only
controlled the FPGA inner-loop AGC but the STM32 outer-loop AGC
(ADAR1000_AGC) ran independently with its own enable state.

FPGA: Drive gpio_dig6 from host_agc_enable instead of tied low,
making the FPGA register the single source of truth for AGC state.

MCU: Change ADAR1000_AGC constructor default from enabled(true) to
enabled(false) so boot state matches FPGA reset default (AGC off).
Read DIG_6 GPIO every frame with 2-frame confirmation debounce to
sync outerAgc.enabled — prevents single-sample glitch from causing
spurious AGC state transitions.

Tests: Update MCU unit tests for new default, add 6 cross-layer
contract tests verifying the FPGA-MCU-GUI AGC invariant chain.
