CXL Expert Manager Checkpoint/Restore Demo

Demonstrates sub-second fault tolerance (~1s C/R) for MoE models using:
1. Tiered memory: GPU HBM (hot experts) + CXL Memory (cold experts)
2. Windowed WAL: 16-token granularity checkpoints
3. Fast replay: Record expert routing, replay on recovery

This achieves ~1s recovery compared to 5-10 minutes with traditional approaches like DejaVu.
