fix: Resolve CUDA toolkit mismatch on multi-CUDA Windows systems (#4324)

* fix: prefer existing CUDA_PATH toolkit to avoid version mismatch on multi-CUDA systems

* fix: validate GPU arch support before accepting CUDA toolkit (sm_120 + CUDA 12.4 fallback)

* debug: add temporary CUDA compatibility check print

* fix: auto-copy CUDA VS integration files when missing (No CUDA toolset found)

* fix: return false when nvcc --list-gpu-arch unavailable (reject old toolkit, scan for newer)

* fix: re-sanitize CUDA env vars before cmake build (survives Refresh-Environment)

* fix: use --list-gpu-code (sm_*) instead of --list-gpu-arch (compute_*) for arch probing
