Read NVLink and GPU-to-adapter distance from nvidia-smi topo

The release binary is built without cgo, so without NVML, and NVML was
the only source of NVLink peers: on every NVLink machine the portable
agent reported none, and tensor-parallel groups were chosen by GPU index.
Discovery now reads `nvidia-smi topo -m` after either path, for the
NVLink peers (kept from NVML where it gave them), each card's NUMA node,
and how far each network adapter is from it - PIX, PXB, PHB, NODE or
SYS - which travels to the control plane as nic_paths for placement to
use. Both the NICn-with-legend layout of newer drivers and the
adapter-named columns of older ones are read.
