David Young d2ccbe92a6 MLA tensor parallelism under -sm graph (DEEPSEEK2/GLM_DSA/MISTRAL4)
Extends -sm graph (split-mode graph) to MLA-style attention across the
DEEPSEEK2, GLM_DSA, and MISTRAL4 architectures. Previously these archs
fell back to -sm layer regardless of the user's flag.

Implementation:
- Per-rank attention build in build_deepseek2_tp_attention with
  view-sliced FlashAttention, split-buffer output projection, and
  ggml_reduce across devices
- wk_b / wv_b absorbed weights replicated per device via materialize()
  in llm_prepare_mla (these can't live in a split buffer)
- KV cache replication path (replicated_k_l) for graph-mode TP
- distribute_mla_tensors_for_split_mode_graph routes attention/norm
  tensors into ctx_split; expert tensors stay per-layer
- Implements ggml_backend_cuda_split_buffer_get_tensor for the
  replicated / row-split / col-split inverse paths
- Early-reject guard in src/llama.cpp that auto-downgrades -sm graph
  to -sm layer (with a warning) when incompatible loader flags are set:
  -ncmoe, -cmoe, -ot, -rtr, -muge

New CLI flag:
- -gap | --graph-attn-precision <f16|f32>  (default f16)

See the PR description for the full validation matrix (3 archs x 2/4/8
GPU counts), perf numbers, VRAM accounting, and known limitations.
