refactor: split quantize into multi-type primitive

- split quantize into quantize.cuh, templated on input type (bf16/fp16/fp32)
- rename pybind entry quantize_bf16 to quantize; validate the fmt enum
- fix fp8x2 packing: one 32-bit word packs two pairs (halves were dropped)
- drop the dead OutFp8 template param; GEMM output is always bf16
- fp8_state.reset() restores recipe/format defaults too (test state leak)
- rewrite tests for the two-primitive API with fp32-domain amax references

Scale semantics follow `torch._scaled_mm` (quantization step size: divide by
`scale`; the kernel computes the reciprocal internally — the interface never
takes `*_inv`). `amax` is always returned in the original bf16 domain.
Scale semantics: `quantize` takes the quantization *multiplier*, `mm_fp8`
takes the combined dequant scale (`sa * sb`); the strategy layer passes
`scale.reciprocal()` / `sa * sb` respectively. `amax` is always returned in
the original input domain.
Python layer (two levels): `astrai/extension/ops/fp8.py` provides stateless
primitives (`quantize_bf16` / `mm_fp8` / `linear_forward_fp8` /
`linear_backward_fp8`) via `torch.library.custom_op`, and
primitives (`quantize` / `mm_fp8`) via `torch.library.custom_op`, and
`astrai/extension/fp8.py` is the strategy layer (`fp8_autocast`, delayed /
dynamic scaling recipes, `fp8_linear_forward/backward` wiring `aten::linear`
on CUDA). See the FP8 section in `AGENTS.md` for full detail.
