fix(sampler): clamp multivariate TPE candidates to parameter bounds

- Clamp KDE candidates to parameter bounds before evaluating l(x)/g(x),
  matching the univariate TPE behavior; without this, candidates scored
  well at out-of-bounds locations but became suboptimal when clamped
- Sort HashMap iterations by ParamId before consuming the seeded RNG to
  eliminate non-deterministic sampling caused by global ParamId counter
- Replace wall-clock timing assertion in async concurrency test with
  atomic max-active counter to avoid CI flakiness
- Gate unused HashSet import behind cfg(feature = "async")
