Describe the check as planned, not available.

Line 56 says the check is available, but this PR adds only the catalog entry and exported name. It does not add the validator Job implementation. Lines 61-64 therefore describe behavior that the shipped code cannot provide. State that the entry is reserved for the future implementation, or document the private implementation that supports nccl-cre-all-reduce-bw.

Suggested wording update 
-An opt-in Cluster Readiness Engine (CRE) NCCL check is available for EKS H100.
+The catalog reserves an opt-in Cluster Readiness Engine (CRE) NCCL check for
+future EKS H100 support. The validator Job implementation is not shipped yet.

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

In `@docs/user/validation.md` around lines 56 - 64, Update the CRE NCCL check
documentation to describe `nccl-cre-all-reduce-bw` as reserved or planned rather
than available, since no validator Job implementation is shipped. Revise the
surrounding measurement description to avoid claiming unsupported CRE
WorkloadRun behavior, while preserving the existing note about AICR transport
assertions.
