kernels: reshape_and_cache, GPU argmax, single-launch GEMV

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.
