geotiff: nvcomp decompress prefix-sum offsets via np.cumsum (#1950)

`_try_nvcomp_batch_decompress` computed its per-tile host offsets via
a Python `for` loop:

```
comp_offsets_h = np.zeros(n_tiles, dtype=np.int64)
for i in range(1, n_tiles):
    comp_offsets_h[i] = comp_offsets_h[i - 1] + comp_sizes_list[i - 1]
```

The sibling helper `_batched_d2h_to_bytes` at ~L924 and the
post-compress prefix sum in `_nvcomp_batch_compress` at ~L2572 already
use `np.cumsum(sizes, out=offsets[1:])`. Aligning the decompress side
keeps the codebase consistent and trims interpreter overhead.

Replace the loop with `np.fromiter` + `np.cumsum(..., out=...)` and
materialise the per-tile sizes once as `comp_sizes_arr`; subsequent
slicing and the `cupy.asarray` upload use the array directly. The
microbench on 1024 tiles drops the prefix sum from 84us to 21us
(~3.9x).

Tests cover:
* structural -- the decompress upload block uses `np.cumsum` and no
  longer contains the `for i in range(1, n_tiles)` loop,
* equivalence -- the cumsum-based offsets match the prior loop
  pointwise on a 1024-element random array,
* round-trip -- a 1024x1024 float32 deflate-tiled raster still decodes
  through the GPU path and matches the source byte-for-byte.
