ops.rs wraps each Tensor op as a Var node with its backward closure (forward
caches captured by move). swiglu = mul(silu(gate), up); attention is composed
(matmul+scale+softmax+matmul), no fused kernel. tests/autograd.rs grad-checks
every op via the L=sum(W∘out) template, plus a fan-out grad-accumulation test
(dL/dx=4x) and an end-to-end composed-attention grad-check (dQ/dK/dV). Adds
xtrain-cuda dev-dep for device selection in tests.

New xtrain-autodiff crate with a reusable central finite-difference
gradient check: grad_check(x, shape, f, analytic_grad, cfg) compares an
analytic gradient against (f(x+ε)-f(x-ε))/2ε per element with a relative
tolerance. Host-only (no CUDA): the loss closure owns any GPU work, so
T4's per-op backward checks can reuse it directly. Includes host unit
tests (sum(x²) grad 2x passes; a wrong grad is rejected).
