fix: reduce batch_size to 32 and quantiles to 3 for GPU memory optimization

- Change batch_size from 256 (default) to 32 to reduce memory by ~87%
- Change quantiles from 9 (default) to 3 [0.1, 0.5, 0.9] to reduce memory by ~67%
- Combined memory savings: ~95% reduction in inference memory
- No impact on forecast quality (batch_size is purely computational)
- Only quantiles we use anyway (other 6 were discarded)

This should resolve CUDA OOM errors on 24GB L4 GPU with multivariate forecasting.
