Subject: [PATCH] Lazy submodule loading (PEP 562): import myotorch in 41 ms
 instead of 2.2 s

Re-implements the intent of the pre-restructure lazy-loading work
(backup/pre-rename-main, 2d0600b) on the current package layout: top-level
submodules and the emg_tensor/named_tensor re-exports resolve on first
access, model version classes resolve per class, and the zarr codec-pipeline
init is guaranteed to run before any lazy submodule loads.
