Vulkan GPU auto-activation for KV cache operations

When built with TQ_BUILD_VULKAN=ON and a Vulkan device is available,
KV cache quantize/attention functions are automatically routed to GPU
compute shaders via runtime traits override.

Changes:
- tools/quant.c: call tq_init_vulkan_backend() on startup
- tq_vulkan_init.c: add tq_vulkan_override_traits() — replaces CPU
  function pointers in TQ_TRAITS[] with Vulkan GPU versions
- tq_traits.c: make TQ_TRAITS[] non-const for runtime override
- tq_types.h: update extern declaration to match

The full forward pass (matmul, FFN, norms) still runs on CPU.
Vulkan handles KV quantize + dequant + attention kernels.

34/34 tests passing.
