Fix encoder and decoder - working LDPC simulation

- Fixed cyclic shift convention (QC-LDPC P_s is left shift, not right)
- Fixed encoder to solve rows sequentially (row 0 first for p1, then 1-6)
- Fixed decoder to only gather connected columns per CN (staircase has dc=2-3)
- Fixed LLR sign convention: positive = bit 0 more likely
- Decoder validates at lam_s >= 4 photons/slot (~90% frame success)

Systematic encoding: info bits are the first K bits of codeword.
Solve H * c^T = 0 for parity bits given info bits.
Sequential encoding exploiting the IRA staircase structure.

c = [info | parity], H_p * parity^T = H_i * info^T (mod 2)
QC-LDPC convention: H_BASE[r][c] = s means sub-block is circulant P_s
where P_s applied to vector x gives: result[i] = x[(i+s) % Z] (left shift by s).
This uses dense GF(2) Gaussian elimination. Fine for small codes.
