kernels: reshape_and_cache, GPU argmax, single-launch GEMV

Browse Source 
Three new CUDA kernels and one rewrite:

- reshape_and_cache: scatter K/V into paged pool in a single kernel per
  layer, replacing the Rust-side per-token per-head cudaMemcpy loop.
  Includes both single-sequence (prefill) and batched (decode) variants.

- argmax: GPU-side BF16 argmax with warp-shuffle reduction. Greedy
  decode now only D2H-transfers B×4 bytes (token ids) instead of the
  full [B, vocab] logits tensor.

- GEMV rewrite: fused zero-init inside the K-split kernel eliminates
  the cudaMemsetAsync call, reducing launches from 3 to 2 per GEMV.

// Custom GEMV kernel for M=1 decode step (BF16):
// K-split GEMV for M=1 BF16 decode, fully self-contained (single launch).
//
// y[n] = sum_k x[k] * W[k * N + n]
// where x: [K] (BF16), W: [K, N] (BF16, row-major), y: [N] (BF16).
//
// Design: K-split for high occupancy on large GPU (170 SMs).
// Grid: (N / TILE_N, K / TILE_K) — each block computes a partial sum
// for TILE_N output columns over a TILE_K slice of K.
// Partial results are atomicAdd'd to an FP32 accumulator, then a
// second kernel converts FP32 -> BF16.
// Grid: (N / TILE_N, K / TILE_K).
// Block k=0 for each column group initializes the FP32 accumulator to 0.
// All blocks atomicAdd their partial sums. Block k=last converts FP32→BF16.
//
// Memory access: adjacent threads read adjacent columns of the same row
// of W, giving perfectly coalesced 128-byte transactions.
// This replaces the old 3-launch pattern (cudaMemsetAsync + gemv + convert)
// with a single kernel launch while preserving the K-split occupancy.
