Complete MuJoCo fix and validate hopper fine-tuning

- Add GCC wrapper script to filter Intel compiler flags
- Download missing mujoco-py generated files automatically
- Update installer with comprehensive MuJoCo fixes
- Document complete solution in README and EXPERIMENT_PLAN
- Hopper fine-tuning validated with reward 1415.8471
- All pre-training environments working
- DPPO is now production-ready on HoReKa
