fix: run VAE in fp32 to stop black/blank generated images

Browse Source 
fp16 VAE produces NaNs on many SD1.5/SDXL checkpoints, yielding black
images (often mistaken for NSFW censorship - there is no NSFW filter in
the generator). Switch COMFYUI_FLAGS from --fp16-vae to --fp32-vae in
.env.example and document the fix in the README. Verified end-to-end:
a test generation now produces a real image (mean ~86) instead of black.

**What NOT to use:**
- `--gpu-only` - fights the unified memory fabric, hurts performance
- `--cache-none` - disables natural caching, slows model loading
