fix(gui): align radar parameters to FPGA truth (radar_scene.py)

- Bandwidth 500 MHz -> 20 MHz, sample rate 4 MHz -> 100 MHz (DDC output)
- Range formula: deramped FMCW -> matched-filter c/(2*Fs)*decimation
- Velocity formula: use PRI (167 us) and chirps_per_subframe (16)
- Carrier frequency: 10.525 GHz -> 10.5 GHz per radar_scene.py
- Range per bin: 4.8 m -> 24 m, max range: 307 m -> 1536 m
- Fix simulator target spawn range to match new coverage (50-1400 m)
- Remove dead BANDWIDTH constant, add SAMPLE_RATE to V65 Tk
- All 174 tests pass, ruff clean

+ *   A clock-activity watchdog in the clk domain detects when ft_clk stops
+ *   (USB cable unplugged). After ~0.65 ms of silence (65536 system clocks)
+ *   it asserts ft_clk_lost, which is OR'd into the FT-domain reset so
+ *   FSMs and FIFOs return to a clean state. When ft_clk resumes, a 2-stage
+ *   reset synchronizer deasserts the reset cleanly in the ft_clk domain.
