Bump torchao to 03ca489dc and nightly wheel to dev20260729 (#21476)

### Summary
Advances both torchao pins to the same upstream source. The pip nightly
wheel moves from 0.18.0.dev20260715 to 0.18.0.dev20260729, and the
third-party/ao submodule moves from 4aa810113 (v0.17.0-178) to 03ca489dc
(v0.17.0-224), which is the exact torchao main commit the dev20260729
nightly wheel was built from. Previously the two pins were roughly six
weeks apart; keeping them on the same commit avoids source-versus-wheel
skew between the built-from-source kernels and the installed package.

This change was authored with Claude Code.
