[BASE] qwen3_6_scripts/sampler.py: CCCL topk unsorted output optimization

Random CCCL pick: cub/test/catch2_test_device_topk_env_api.cu (290 lines, full)

CCCL DeviceTopK uses cuda::execution::output_ordering::unsorted —
top-k results are NOT sorted by default. The test sorts results
AFTER retrieval only for verification, not during the algorithm.

Our sampler's torch.topk(logits, k) defaults to sorted=True, which
adds an unnecessary final sort step after the radix selection.
For sampling, we only need the THRESHOLD value (min of top-k set)
to mask logits below it — the ordering within top-k is irrelevant.

Change: torch.topk(..., sorted=False) in the top-k fast path.
This skips the O(k log k) sort of the selected elements.
For Qwen3.6 with top_k=20, k=20 sort is cheap, but it's free
to eliminate and matches CCCL's unsorted-by-default design.

CCCL also teaches: determinism::not_guaranteed is acceptable for
top-k in sampling contexts (temperature > 0 = inherent randomness).
