refactor: split fp8 into fp8_ops adapter and fp8 policy module

- fp8_ops is the only module touching the pybind (kernel interface)
- fp8.py keeps scaling state, delayed amax and aten::linear dispatch
- remove circular imports between old fp8_ops/fp8_state/fp8_dispatch

"""FP8 training state: per-tensor scales, amax history, delayed scaling.
"""FP8 training: scaling state and aten::linear dispatch.
TE-style (TransformerEngine) delayed scaling:
- weight tensors carry an ``FP8TensorMeta`` keyed by (data_ptr, shape) with a
fixed scale derived from a 16-step amax history window;
- activations/gradients reuse the quantize kernel's free atomic amax, delayed
one step (scale updated after each call, used by the next call);
- ``fp8_autocast()`` context manager toggles fp8 dispatch (like
``torch.autocast``) and advances the scale-update counter once per step.
Entering it also ensures the aten::linear CUDA impl is registered, so
``import astrai.extension.fp8_dispatch`` is not required by callers.
Layered (see also ``fp8_ops.py`` for the CUDA interface adapter):
1. Kernel interface: "fp8_ops" the only module touching the pybind.
2. Training state (this module): per-tensor scales, amax history, delayed
scaling, and the ``fp8_autocast`` context (TE-style, like
``torch.autocast``).
3. aten::linear integration (this module): registers the CUDA impl and the
M/N alignment guard.
Usage::
from astrai.extension.fp8 import fp8_autocast
with fp8_autocast(enabled=True):
logits = model(input_ids)
loss.backward()
Importing this module registers the aten::linear CUDA implementation.
