Studio: fix torch CUDA undefined-symbol errors from a conflicting LD_LIBRARY_PATH (#6905)

* Studio: re-exec to prepend torch's bundled CUDA libs to LD_LIBRARY_PATH

On Linux the dynamic linker reads LD_LIBRARY_PATH before the RUNPATH baked into
torch's .so files, so a pre-existing LD_LIBRARY_PATH pointing at a system CUDA
(conda, a Docker base image, /usr/local/cuda-*/lib64) shadows torch's bundled
nvidia/*/lib libraries and causes undefined-symbol errors when the Studio backend
imports torch. Detect torch's lib dirs without importing torch, prepend them to
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and re-exec once (LD_LIBRARY_PATH is only read at process start).
Linux-only, sentinel-guarded against re-exec loops, and called only from run.py's
__main__ so library/embedder imports (e.g. Colab's `from run import run_server`)
are never re-exec'd.

* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

PyTorch wheels ship their own CUDA runtime (libcudart, libcublas, ...) in
``site-packages/nvidia/*/lib``. On Linux the dynamic linker reads
LD_LIBRARY_PATH before the RUNPATH baked into torch's .so files, so a
pre-existing LD_LIBRARY_PATH pointing at a different system CUDA (e.g.
/usr/local/cuda-13/lib64 from conda or a Docker base image) shadows torch's
libs and triggers "undefined symbol" errors when torch is imported. Detect
torch's lib dirs (without importing torch) and prepend them. Returns True if
LD_LIBRARY_PATH was changed.
