diskio: KV write batching + persistent handle; generators: unfuse experts

Two independent fixes validated end-to-end on fresh fixtures:

1. KV cache disk I/O (issue_diskio.md opportunities #1 + #4):
   - kv_disk_append: fopen/fclose every turn -> persistent FILE* kept open
     for the engine lifetime, lazy open on first append, closed in
     serve_ctx_free. Eliminates per-turn handle creation overhead.
   - kv_disk_append: ~157 small fwrites per position -> one contiguous
     record memcpy'd into a staging buffer then a single fwrite per
     position. The staging buffer grows on demand via realloc.
   - kv_disk_truncate: closes the persistent handle before truncating
     so the file actually shrinks on disc, then reopens lazily.
   - KVState gains disk_fp, disk_buf, disk_buf_cap fields.
   - Verified: serve-mode round-trip, write 11 tokens then reload and
     resume with no re-prefill, then append 8 more and reload to 19.

2. Expert weight unfusing in test-model generators:
   - The real GLM-5.2-FP8 checkpoint stores routed experts UNFUSED as
     per-expert 2-D tensors, each with its own _scale_inv. HF fuses
     gate+up into a single 3-D gate_up_proj for compute efficiency.
   - The converter and C engine both expect the unfused layout. The
     fused 3-D tensors were silently skipped by the converter, and the
     engine crashed with missing-tensor errors.
   - New unfuse_experts in glm_fp8_emit.py splits gate_up_proj and
     down_proj into per-expert 2-D tensors. Called after reference
     generation but before saving, in both generators, both FP8 and bf16.
   - Also fixed: make_glm_oracle.py FP8 round-trip guard used p.dim()<2
     which let 3-D fused experts through and crashed fp8_block_quantize.
     Changed to p.dim()!=2 to match the converter ndim!=2 guard.

Validated full chain on fresh fixtures:
  generator --fp8 -> 570 e4m3 tensors + 629 scale_inv, was 90 when fused
  converter --group-size 0  -> per-row int4 fmt=2, engine loads clean
  converter --group-size 128 -> grouped int4 fmt=4, 8-16x more scales,
    engine loads clean, fmt=4 auto-detected in both mmap and slab paths
  dequant error: grouped 1.14-1.22x lower than per-row vs FP8 source
