perf(trajectory_gen): parallel workers + JSONL checkpoint for resume

- Replace sequential for-loop with ThreadPoolExecutor (default 10 workers)
giving ~10x speedup: 1500 trajectories in ~20 min instead of 3.75 hours
- Write each trajectory to a JSONL checkpoint file immediately after collection
so Ctrl+C is safe — restart with the same command to resume from where it stopped
- Each worker thread gets its own MockEnvClient + TrajectoryGenerator to avoid
any shared mutable state between threads
- Add --workers flag (default 10, raise to 20 if not rate-limited)
- Add --checkpoint flag (default data_artifacts/traj_checkpoint.jsonl)
- Change default --top-fraction to 0.50 (was 0.30) to match updated plan
