feat(simd): AVX2 fallback — F32x16 now safe on all x86_64

simd.rs now re-exports from simd_avx2 (2× __m256 composed types)
instead of simd_avx512 (__m512 native) for all 512-bit types.

This eliminates the SIGILL risk on x86_64 without AVX-512.
The AVX2 composed types use 2× F32x8 per F32x16 operation —
correct on all hardware, 2 instructions instead of 1 on AVX-512.

BLAS hot paths (dot, axpy, gemm) still dispatch to AVX-512
kernels via native.rs LazyLock<Tier> — no performance regression
for inner loops. The simd.rs types serve HPC consumer code.

LazyLock<Tier> detection added to simd.rs (same pattern as native.rs).
F32x8/F64x4 (256-bit AVX2 base types) always re-exported from simd_avx512.

1422/1423 tests pass (1 pre-existing causal_diff failure).
