perf: Optimize Metal GEMM to 2.4+ TFLOP/s, add fused ML ops

GEMM Optimizations:
- Add gemm_m4_pro: Software-pipelined kernel with register prefetch
- Add gemm_m4_max: Larger 128×64 tiles for better compute density
- Both require M, N, K multiples of 64

Bug Fixes:
- Fix GPU reduce_sum for large arrays (>1024 elements) via two-pass reduction
- Fix Accelerate GEMM: Replace broken cblas_sgemm with vDSP_mmul
- Add Accelerate framework to lakefile.lean linking

Fused Operations:
- Add fused softmax (single memory pass)
- Add bias_relu, bias_gelu kernels
- Add layer_norm kernel

Benchmarks at 2048×2048:
- MPS: 2.53 TFLOP/s
- M4Pro: 2.44 TFLOP/s
- M4: 2.42 TFLOP/s
- Accelerate: 2.19 TFLOP/s (CPU AMX)
