luminal_python: DLRM vanilla-PyTorch fast paths + DCE + batched FFI

Adds the pieces needed for torch.compile(model, backend=luminal_backend)
to ingest a vanilla DLRMv1 (with nn.EmbeddingBag modules) at correctness
parity (max abs diff ≤ 1.79e-07 across num_cat∈{1,2,3,4,8,16,32}) and
within 0.45-0.84× of Inductor (no CG) across that sweep.

Translator
- aten._embedding_bag_forward_only.default: fixed-stride offsets, mode=sum,
  routes to the fused embedding_bag_sum_kernel under cuda
- aten.index_select.default: 2-D source / dim=0 / 1-D index lowering
- aten.addmm.default fast path: detect `addmm(bias, x, weight.t())` and
  emit luminal_cuda_lite::kernel::linear_bias with the original (N,K) weight
- aten.bmm.default split out + fast path through matmul_3d_t when the
  RHS comes from a [0,2,1] permute
- aten.sum.dim_IntList peephole: sum ← view ← index_select →
  embedding_bag_sum_kernel
- aten.index.Tensor peephole: [None, li, lj] over bmm(cat(unsq...), perm(cat))
  → dlrm_pairwise_dot_lower_tri (new kernel, ported from worktree)
- aten.permute.default records 2-D [1,0] and 3-D [0,2,1] sources into
  `transpose_2d_source` for the addmm / bmm fast paths
- node_chain extended to populate from variadic-first-input ops (cat) so
  the PairwiseDot peephole can walk back through cat
- New `op_inputs` side-table holds all input names per node so multi-input
  peepholes don't need to re-scan FX nodes
- Post-translation DCE pass walks back from Output HLIR sinks and drops
  every unreachable producer — load-bearing for the PairwiseDot peephole
  because the cat→bmm→permute chain it supersedes was surviving past
  egglog otherwise

Runtime
- Drop the trailing cuStreamSynchronize at end of CudaRuntime::execute
  (incompatible with torch.cuda.CUDAGraph capture; PyTorch syncs on read)
- New batched `run_with_ptrs(input_ptrs, output_ptrs)` PyO3 method that
  registers all I/O device pointers and runs in one FFI crossing. For
  DLRM at nc=32 collapses ~7 separate PyO3 calls per iter into 1; ~22%
  per-iter wall-clock improvement on top of the algorithmic peepholes.

Python wrapper
- main.py: narrow CUDA weight tensors (i64→i32, f64→f32) before extracting
  device pointers — luminal only has 32-bit Int/Float, the old direct-ptr
  path silently read half-words. Surfaced from this DLRM work but applies
  to every model whose state_dict carries i64 buffers.
- main.py: set LUMINAL_BACKEND_CUDA=1 around _compile_pt2 so translator
  fast paths gate themselves correctly (cuda-only kernels behind native).
- pt2.py: thread `search_iterations` through pt2_backend so callers can
  override the default of 10.
- compiled_model.py: CUDA path now uses run_with_ptrs.

New cuda_lite kernels
- dlrm_interact.rs::PairwiseDotLowerTriKernel — variadic, N (B,D) inputs,
  computes the strict-lower-tri F*(F-1)/2 dot products in one launch.
- embedding_bag.rs::MultiTableEmbeddingBagSumKernel — K (weight, idx)
  pointer pairs through two packed staging buffers, produces (B, K, D)
  in one launch. Drop-in for vanilla DLRMv1's F separate nn.EmbeddingBag
  modules. Translator integration is a follow-up; the kernel currently
  has a `device_ptr` API miss against the in-tree cudarc that needs a
  one-line tuple-destructure fix before it'll compile (see follow-up).

Status:
- 213/213 tests in tests/test_hlir_ops.py pass.
- DLRM vanilla-PT sweep matches or beats Inductor (no CG) at every nc≤16,
  ~tied at nc=32. Still 1.6–3.2× behind Inductor+CG (the remaining gap
  is PyTorch-side Python/dynamo overhead around our run_with_ptrs call;
  torch.cuda.graph capture of luminal's runtime is the next item).

+//! Fused DLRM pairwise-dot interaction.
+//!
+//! Replaces the cat→bmm(T,Tᵀ)→tril-gather chain with a single kernel
+//! that reads N separate `(batch, d)` tensors and writes the strict
+//! lower-triangular pairwise dot products directly into the output —
+//! `out[b, p] = Σ_d v_i[b, d] * v_j[b, d]` for each ordered pair (i, j)
+//! with i > j.
+//!
+//! Why this matters for the DLRM forward: the natural luminal lowering
+//! materializes the `(B, F, D)` stacked tensor, then the full `(B, F, F)`
+//! BMM output, then a flat gather to pull out F(F-1)/2 pairs. That's
+//! ~12 small kernels and an `F²·B` intermediate even though only half
+//! of those elements are kept. The fused version uses N pointer args
+//! (one per feature vector), computes only the F(F-1)/2 dot products,
+//! and writes directly to the final `(B, F(F-1)/2)` buffer.
+//!
+//! All shapes are static. The kernel source is generated with the
+//! exact pair table baked in (so the inner loop is a fixed `D`-element
+//! reduction with no shape-dependent branching).
