fix: use huggingface_hub for downloads instead of raw requests

download_utils.py used requests without auth — jnwnlee/SelVA returned an
HTML error page which torch then failed to unpickle ('E' / opcode 69).
huggingface_hub.hf_hub_download() handles HF_TOKEN auth automatically,
validates downloads, and retries. Files are still copied to models/selva/.
