feat: curve v3 — terraced ascent, two benches, white plateau at 220 m (terrain-water task 07)

Per the task-06 ground-test verdict (floor and 420 m ceiling frozen;
v2's ascent read flat-then-wall — 87% of the vertical budget in the
last 4% of input): the ascent is rebuilt as a terraced climb. Knots
recalibrated from the same pooled batch-04 land CDF at
P59/72/82/87/95/98 (K=0.509179/0.604081/0.698485/0.767213/0.930304/
1.050720), pooled land fractions exactly 59/13/10/5/8/3/2 (orange/red/
foothill-riser/bench/mid-riser/plateau/spike). Segments: frozen toe
and rise (storm anchors), smoothstep foothill riser to a near-flat
100 m bench, smoothstep mid riser to the near-flat white plateau at
220 m (relocated from 50 m — mountain towns/snow belong there),
per-seed-normalized u4 summit spike to 420 m (both retained from v2),
linear tail. Per-seed effective-curve monotonicity assertion retained.

TerrainCurve gate: "off"|"v3" (default v3); v1/v2 retired with a
loud config error (old blueprints regenerable). TCRV: knot slots carry
K1..K4 (K5/K6 are version constants), PlateauLo/Hi carry the two bench
anchors; version byte selects the semantics.
