feat(gpu-test): opt-in GPU integration suite + xtask runner + docs

Three-layer gating model: (1) cargo feature 'cuda-runtime-tests',
(2) #[ignore] attribute, (3) runtime probe with catch_unwind so
older drivers / missing libraries cause the test to log a [skip]
note rather than panic.

Adds:
- xtask gpu-probe — scans nvcc, libcuda.so.1, nvidia-smi, and 14
  optional library .so files; reports per-library presence
- xtask gpu-test [SUITE...] — drives 'cargo test -p ... --features
  ... -- --ignored' for one or all of: cublas, cublaslt, cudnn,
  cufft, curand, cusolver, cusparse, cutensor, nccl, nvrtc, graph,
  event, memory, cub, cutlass, flashattn, tensorrt, telemetry
- xtask gpu-bench [BENCH...] — runs criterion benches with
  cuda-runtime-tests enabled

New per-crate smoke tests for the Phase 5-9 sibling crates:
- atomr-accel-cub/tests/cub_smoke.rs — KernelSourceCache round-trip
  + ReductionOp key distinctness (skips on cudarc dlsym panic)
- atomr-accel-cutlass/tests/cutlass_smoke.rs — arch×dtype support
  matrix matches the CUTLASS contract (fp8 ≥ sm_89, fp4 ≥ sm_100)
- atomr-accel-flashattn/tests/flashattn_smoke.rs — DISPATCH_TABLE
  covers 7 canonical (arch, dtype, head_dim, causal, varlen) configs
  spanning fa2 Ampere through fa3 Hopper fp8
- atomr-accel-tensorrt/tests/tensorrt_smoke.rs — TrtActor lazy-load
  against libnvinfer; skips cleanly when not installed
- atomr-accel-telemetry/tests/nvml_smoke.rs — NVML reports real
  device 0 name + memory bytes; verified against an RTX 5000 Ada

Adds 'cuda-runtime-tests' feature to atomr-accel-cutlass and
atomr-accel-tensorrt for parity with the rest of the workspace.

docs/gpu-testing.md — full suite catalog, gating model, why this
isn't in CI (no GPU runners + driver version skew + flake budget +
TensorRT EULA hygiene).

README.md — points at the new docs page and the four xtask commands.

Verified on local hardware (RTX 5000 Ada, sm_8.9):
- cargo build --workspace --no-default-features: clean
- cargo test --no-default-features: GPU smoke tests cfg-stripped
- cargo xtask gpu-probe: reports nvidia-smi + libcuda + cuRAND + NVML
- cargo xtask gpu-test telemetry: NVML smoke runs against real GPU
- cargo xtask gpu-test cub: skips cleanly on driver-binding mismatch

-GPU-host integration tests are gated behind `--features
-cuda-runtime-tests` so the workspace builds clean without the CUDA
-toolkit.
+GPU-host integration tests are **opt-in** and **not part of CI**. On a
+CUDA-equipped workstation:
+
+```bash
+cargo xtask gpu-probe          # report local CUDA + library availability
+cargo xtask gpu-test            # run all suites
+cargo xtask gpu-test cublas     # run one suite
+cargo xtask gpu-bench           # criterion perf-regression benches
+```
+
+Tests skip gracefully when the local driver / library / GPU isn't
+present, so the same commands are safe on a no-GPU laptop. See
+[`docs/gpu-testing.md`](docs/gpu-testing.md) for the full suite list,
+the gating model (cargo feature + `#[ignore]` + runtime probe), and
+the rationale for keeping these tests out of CI.
