L3 3.0: config (disks + rank->disk mapping + PLP gate)

CpL3Config (TOML/JSON): per-machine L3 disks (paths + budgets), backend, shared index
location/size, and the rank->disk mapping. disk_for_rank balances M CP ranks over N disks
(r % N; ranks share a disk gracefully — throughput is drive-count-bound) or honors an
explicit map; fail-loud on length/range mismatch. probe_disk_plp: O_DIRECT write+fdatasync
latency heuristic for the durability gate (non-PLP disk must fail loud when require_plp).
No hardcoded paths. 11/11 unit tests.

+"""CP HiCache L3 — configuration (config-driven, no hardcoded disk paths).
+
+Per-machine config consumed by ``CpL3Store.from_config``: the L3 disks (paths + per-disk byte budgets), the
+**rank -> disk mapping** (M CP ranks >= N disks; ranks may share a disk — throughput is drive-count-bound, not
+rank-count-bound), the backend, the shared metadata-index location, and the **PLP durability gate** (L3
+durability rides on power-loss-protected NVMe + O_DIRECT, NOT on the fsync barrier doing a NAND flush — so a
+non-PLP disk is unsafe and must fail loud when ``require_plp`` is set).
+
+Loadable from TOML or JSON. Pure parse + mapping + validation here; the PLP probe touches the disk at runtime.
