xserv-chat: support gpt-oss-20b with TP; fix GEMV precision bug

- Add ChatModel enum dispatching between Qwen3 and GptOss based on
  config.is_moe(), following the TP engine pattern.
- Add --tp N flag for tensor-parallel inference (required for 39GB
  gpt-oss-20b which doesn't fit on a single 32GB GPU).
- Add gpt-oss harmony chat template with channel/message format.
- Replace hardcoded is_stop_token() with tokenizer.is_eos() for
  multi-model EOS support.
- Restore gpt-oss hardcoded prompt template in server api.rs, lost
  during the Jinja template refactor.
- Fix GEMV race condition: the K-split kernel zeroed the FP32
  accumulator inside the kernel (block k=0) while other blocks
  atomicAdd'd concurrently. Pre-zero with cudaMemsetAsync instead.
- Update benchmark docs with post-fix results.

With equal context the two engines land at identical AIME accuracy and
within one problem on GSM8K. At 8192 both generate full-length solutions
(mean ~3.4k / ~4.2k tokens), so neither is truncated. Two independent engines
agreeing at ~20% confirms that's genuine Qwen3-8B (thinking-off) capability and
that xserv is numerically faithful. Response prefixes are byte-identical (same
prompt templating); the only run-to-run wobble is greedy-decode divergence /
nondeterminism on long (~3k-token) sequences (see finding 3).
With equal context the two engines land at comparable AIME accuracy (within
the ±2-problem greedy-decode wobble band) and xserv edges ahead on GSM8K. At
8192 both generate full-length solutions (mean ~4.2k tokens), so neither is
truncated. The AIME difference (2 problems) is entirely within the run-to-run
non-determinism documented below. Per-problem analysis shows the disagreements
are due to different greedy-decode paths (different token at position ~500+
cascades into a different solution), not systematic precision errors.
On GSM8K, xserv strictly dominates: it gets 2 problems right that llama.cpp
misses, and never misses one that llama.cpp gets.

AIME config produced 6/30 / 7/30 / 6/30 across runs — non-deterministic CUDA
reductions flip an argmax over long (~3k-token) generations. Harmless for
serving, but it explains why long-sequence accuracy wobbles by a problem.
4. **GEMV race condition corrupted decode outputs — now fixed.** The custom
K-split GEMV kernel (used for all M=1 decode-step projections with N≥256)
had a race condition: block k=0 zeroed the FP32 accumulator (`y_fp32[col] =
0.0`) while other K-blocks were already atomicAdding to it. Since CUDA
provides no inter-block ordering within a single kernel launch, the zero
could land before, during, or after other blocks' writes. Fix:
`cudaMemsetAsync` on the stream before the kernel launch, which guarantees
the buffer is zeroed before any block executes. This bug was introduced
after the initial benchmark and caused systematic decode-time precision
errors that degraded GSM8K accuracy from 98→80% range.
Raw artifacts (per-request timings, per-problem prediction/gold) are written to
`bench-out/` as `comparison-<stamp>.{md,json}` (gitignored).
