feat(physics): InterpolationManager core (L.3.1 Task 1)

Browse source 
Pure-data class + 13 unit tests.

Ports retail's CPhysicsObj::InterpolateTo (acclient @ 0x005104F0)
and InterpolationManager::adjust_offset (@ 0x00555D30) — FIFO position-
waypoint queue (cap 20) + per-frame catch-up math walking the body
toward the head node at 2 × motion-table-max-speed (clamped, with
7.5 m/s fallback). Reach @ 0.05m. Duplicate-prune @ 0.05m.

Stall detection: every 5 frames; if progress < 30% of expected,
increment fail counter; > 3 fails → blip-to-TAIL (resolved via
decomp dive of UseTime @ 0x00555F20: tail_ is the snap target,
not head_).

Constants verified from binary at named addresses (not guesses):
MAX_INTERPOLATED_VELOCITY_MOD=2.0, MAX_INTERPOLATED_VELOCITY=7.5,
MIN_DISTANCE_TO_REACH_POSITION=0.20, DESIRED_DISTANCE=0.05.

Composed into RemoteMotion in subsequent task; not yet used.

// InterpolationManager::UseTime (acclient @ 0x00555F20) — stall/blip
//
// FIFO position-waypoint queue (cap 20). On each physics tick the caller
// passes current body position + max-speed from the motion table; we return
// the delta vector to apply to the body for this frame.
//
// Queue semantics:
// - Head = next target. Body walks toward head at catch-up speed.
// - Tail = most-recent server position. On stall we blip directly to tail
// (retail UseTime @ 0x00555F20: copies tail_ position, calls
// CPhysicsObj::SetPositionSimple, then StopInterpolating).
