tools: add FP8 vs BF16 benchmark and GSM8K eval harness

bench_fp8.py — head-to-head comparison of FP8 and BF16 models on
  GSM8K / AIME2025 accuracy plus TTFT/TPOT performance measurement.

eval_gsm8k_batch.sh — lightweight GSM8K accuracy evaluator that
  pipes one problem per xserv-chat invocation and scores with
  \boxed{} / last-number extraction.

Benchmark results (gpt-oss-20b, 50-problem GSM8K):
  FP8 W8A8 TP1 : 94.0%  (single RTX 5090, 25 GB)
  FP8 W8A16 TP1: 94.0%
  BF16 TP2     : 94.0%  (requires 2× RTX 5090)
