lars 740ebdf6b6 Drop orphaned child tracks instead of nulling secondary targets
A listed child_track_id can fail to match any first-step row (e.g. a
secondary absorbed below the tracking threshold at birth). The
parent->child left join in _add_secondary_attributes left these as
nulls, which silently became NaN once the parquet round-tripped
through the loader's float32 padding — poisoning every later secondary
slot in that step via the cumulative "remaining budget" in
encode_secondaries, while e_sec quietly undercounted and n_sec (from
len(child_track_ids)) overcounted relative to the actual lists.

Drop orphans from both the per-secondary lists and child_track_ids
itself so downstream counts stay consistent, and thread the per-file
orphaned count back through convert_steps_to_parquet so both the
sequential and --jobs>1 batch paths in `dwarf convert` can report an
aggregate total instead of relying on grepping printed output.

Also floors encode_secondaries' slot-0 budget to _EPS (matching the
i>0 branch), fixing a harmless but noisy 0/0 divide warning on
zero-secondary steps.

"""Add per-step secondary attributes via the parent→child track join.
For each step that spawns secondaries, collects each child track's birth
state (from the child track's first step in the same event) and emits:
e_sec float64 — total secondary energy (sum of child first-step pre_E)
sec_E_list list[f64] — per-secondary energy, sorted descending
sec_pdg_list list[i32] — per-secondary PDG code, same order
sec_dx_list list[f64] — per-secondary birth direction x, same order
sec_dy_list list[f64] — per-secondary birth direction y, same order
sec_dz_list list[f64] — per-secondary birth direction z, same order
Steps with no children get 0.0 / empty lists. The full event must be
present in `df` (it is — the writer concatenates before calling this).
A listed child_track_id can fail to match any row in `first_step` — the
child track never took a recorded step (e.g. absorbed below the tracking
threshold at birth). Such orphans carry no physical secondary data, so
they're dropped from child_track_ids/sec_*_list rather than left as nulls:
a null in a float32 list silently becomes NaN once the parquet round-trips
through the loader (`giant/data/loader.py:_pad_list_col`), and that NaN
poisons every later secondary slot in the same step via the cumulative-sum
"remaining budget" in `encode_secondaries`.
Returns (df, n_orphaned) — the caller uses the count to report/aggregate
across files rather than relying solely on the printed message here.
