Disable normalization on both single-GPU fit paths.

This change corrects weighted score(), but fit() still calls _kmeans_predict() with normalize_weights=True by default. The host-chunked fit path has the same behavior. Therefore model.inertia_ remains normalized and returns 8.0 instead of 12.0 for the regression data. Pass normalize_weights=False to both fit calls.

Proposed fix 
 labels, inertia = _kmeans_predict(
     handle_[0],
     params,
     X,
     sample_weight,
     centers,
+    normalize_weights=False,
 )

 labels, inertia = _kmeans_predict_host_chunked(
     handle_[0], params, X, sample_weight, centers,
     device_buffer_samples,
+    normalize_weights=False,
 )

In `@python/cuml/cuml/cluster/kmeans.pyx` around lines 1056 - 1057, Update both
single-GPU fit paths that call _kmeans_predict to pass normalize_weights=False,
including the host-chunked path, so model.inertia_ preserves unnormalized
weighted results.
