feat(01-03): move cuVSLAM backends into components/vio/cuvslam_backend.py

- Extract CuVSLAMVisualOdometry (Inertial) + CuVSLAMMonoDepthVisualOdometry
  (Mono-Depth) from core/vo.py into a dedicated cuVSLAM-bridge module.
- Preserve the optional 'try: import cuvslam / except ImportError' pattern
  at module top with the _CUVSLAM_AVAILABLE flag — verified False on x86 dev,
  True on Jetson (PATTERNS.md §6.5, §8.1).
- Both classes embed an ORBVisualOdometry instance for transparent dev/CI
  fallback; metric scale semantics preserved (scale_ambiguous=False).
- Scaffold components/vio/native/ as Phase-1 placeholder for future native
  SDK glue (PATTERNS.md §1.4); Phase 1 is intentionally empty.
- Append both classes to the components.vio barrel.

"""cuVSLAM SDK bridge backends (Jetson production path).
Houses the two cuVSLAM-based VO backends:
- CuVSLAMVisualOdometry — Inertial mode (stereo + IMU)
- CuVSLAMMonoDepthVisualOdometry — Mono-Depth mode (single camera + barometric depth hint)
The cuVSLAM Python SDK is **only available on aarch64 Jetson**; on x86
dev/CI machines the import fails and each class transparently falls back
to ``ORBVisualOdometry`` from ``components.vio.orbslam_backend``. The
fallback flag ``_CUVSLAM_AVAILABLE`` is exposed at module level so tests
and the env-aware factory can branch on platform without re-probing the
import.
Decision recorded in
``docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-18-oss-stack-tech-audit-design.md``:
Mono-Depth is the canonical path for the single-nadir-camera UAV
hardware; Inertial mode is retained for sprint-1 reversibility.
