Windows-dev: grouped quantization + mixed precision + expert budget + download tool

Consolidates all experiment branches into one Windows-dev branch:

1. Group-scaled int4 (fmt=4, gs=128) — glm.c
   - QT struct: added gs field
   - matmul_i4_grouped: AVX2 kernel, verified to 3e-08 vs f32
   - Format detection: auto-detects from .qs scale array size
   - expert_load: both mmap and slab+pread paths handle fmt=4
   - qt_bytes: fmt=4 case added

2. Per-tensor-type mixed precision — convert_fp8_to_int4.py
   - Split classify() into sh/o/kvb/attn/dmlp sub-types
   - New args: --shared-bits, --o-bits, --kvb-bits, --attn-bits, --dmlp-bits
   - Plan: shared expert + o_proj + kv_b_proj at int8, rest grouped int4
   - Only +5.3 GB RAM vs +0 for pure int4

3. EXPERT_BUDGET (miss-aware) — glm.c
   - Caps distinct experts per layer across batch-union
   - Always keeps cache hits, only drops misses
   - Up to 1.8x faster decode on low-RAM hosts

4. Two-step shared-expert prediction (PILOT_TWO) — glm.c
   - la_predict kind==2 + pilot_prefetch integration
   - +3.1% recall over baseline PILOT

5. FP8 download tool — download_fp8.py
   - ModelScope + HuggingFace dual-source
   - Parallel shard download with stall recovery

6. Tiny model generation — make_glm_oracle.py
   - Generated and tested locally for pipeline validation
