feat(libturboquant): port Phi-3 fused QKV/FFN + LongRoPE to split sources

Ports the Phi-3/Phi-3.5 architecture support from quant.h (PR #65)
to the split source files used by libturboquant and quant-server.

Changes:
- tq_model.c: fused attn_qkv detection, LongRoPE factor loading,
  fused gate||up FFN detection
- tq_transformer.c: fused QKV matmul + split, NeoX-style LongRoPE
  rotation, fused gate||up FFN path, expanded state allocation
- tq_generate.c: Phi-3 BOS token handling
- tq_tokenizer.c: <s> BOS lookup
- tq_server.c: Phi-3 chat template support
- tq_engine.h: new fields for fused weights and LongRoPE config
- cli.py: Phi-3.5 default model + alias updates

quant-server now detects Phi-3.5 correctly:
  loaded 32 layers (32 self_attn) + LongRoPE

Note: server crashes during inference (segfault in forward pass).
The fused QKV → split memcpy or LongRoPE computation likely has
a buffer size issue in the server path. Tracked in #67.

35/35 unit tests still pass.

Fixes #67 (partial — loader works, inference needs debugging)
Refs #69, #70
