ViperEkura 962c10c52b perf: fold the delayed-scaling ring update into the quantize kernel
- the kernel's last block folds amax into the history window and publishes the next scale in-kernel (atomicAdd ticket + fences), replacing the host update chain
- quantize bindings split into quantize(transposed) / quantize_dual with fixed arities and a QuantLayout enum; the python adapter becomes a thin attention-style wrapper over pybind (Optional ring_state at the boundary, no torch.library custom_ops)
- tests: in-kernel fold vs host reference (exact), dual/transposed orientation byte-equality

Benchmark: L20 (sm_89), 1.2B model, full train step. Per-linear fixed overhead 28.8us -> 8.8us; fp8 vs bf16: M=512 77.5ms, M=2048 144.5ms (1.15x), M=8192 527.4ms (1.28x); losses bit-identical.

"""FP8 primitives: kernel-level (CUDA) and policy-level (CPU-verifiable) tests.
The kernel-level tests exercise the two stateless primitives (``quantize`` for
bf16/fp16/fp32 -> FP8, ``mm_fp8`` for the pre-quantized GEMM with transposed
operands); the policy-level tests (recipes, autocast context, per-tensor
meta) run without a GPU. The primitives themselves are CUDA-only
(attention-style direct wrappers — no torch.library dispatch layer).
