replace four invented nanochat quotes with Karpathy's own words

All four came from the AI-generated deepwiki page, not the experiment log,
and one inverted the finding: the log says clipping was removed because
'Grad norm never exceeds 1.0 naturally', and the real distributed gotcha was
clipping local norms before sync. Footnote now points at dev/LOG.md on master
and at the renamed cache.
