Fix minor bugs across api, benchmark, generators, metrics, runners, and other modules

Summary:
Fix bugs in smaller modules with 1-2 files each:

- Client JSON snapshot crash when no GenerationStrategy exists: `"generation_strategy" in snapshot` is True for the key with a None value, causing a decode crash. Changed to `snapshot.get("generation_strategy") is not None` (api/client.py:1351)
- Benchmark ternary discarding input in both branches: `{} if target_fidelity_and_task is None else {}` always produces an empty dict regardless of input (benchmark/benchmark.py:701)
- String `"False"` default (truthy) preventing trials from being marked CANDIDATE: `t.run_metadata.get(STARTED_KEY, "False")` returns the string `"False"` which is truthy, so `not "False"` is always False (runners/map_replay.py:44)
- Operator precedence making `noisy=False` set all means to 0.0: `item["mean"] + noise if noisy else 0.0` parses as `(item["mean"] + noise) if noisy else 0.0`, replacing the entire mean with 0.0 when `noisy=False` (metrics/noisy_function_map.py:86, metrics/branin_map.py:119)
- Misleading "total number of trials" vs actual trial index (global_stopping/strategies/improvement.py:132) + test update
- Typos: "trial rial" → "trial" (fb/tutorials/auto_tuning.py), "prefererd" → "preferred" and stray `f` in f-string (fb/utils/preference/preference.py), "acquistion" → "acquisition" (generators/torch/botorch_modular/utils.py + test)
