feat: burn-adaworld crate skeleton — burn Backend powered by ndarray SIMD

New crate: crates/burn-adaworld/
  Depends on upstream burn-backend + burn-tensor (0.21.0-pre.2)
  + adaworldapi/ndarray (path) for SIMD-accelerated tensor ops.

  Architecture: Tensor<AdaWorld, D> → Backend trait → crate::simd F32x16
    with optional AttentionTable O(1) compiled attention.

  Compiles clean. Backend trait impl is 5-session plan.

+//! AdaWorld backend: implements burn's Backend trait.
+//!
+//! Delegates all tensor operations to ndarray + crate::simd.
+//! This is the entry point — every burn model compiled with `Backend = AdaWorld`
+//! runs on our SIMD dispatch with optional AttentionTable compiled attention.
+//!
+//! # Implementation Status
+//!
+//! The Backend trait requires ~200+ methods across 7 op traits.
+//! Implementation strategy: core ops first (what Whisper/Llama need),
+//! then expand coverage guided by burn-backend-tests.
+//!
+//! Required traits:
+//!   FloatTensorOps  — 84 required methods (+ ~36 with defaults)
+//!   IntTensorOps    — ~50 required methods
+//!   BoolTensorOps   — ~30 required methods
+//!   ModuleOps       — conv, pool, embedding, etc.
+//!   ActivationOps   — relu, sigmoid, gelu (most have defaults)
+//!   QTensorOps      — quantized tensor ops
+//!   TransactionOps  — batch execution
+//!
+//! # Architecture
+//!
+//! ```text
+//! burn::Tensor<AdaWorld, D>
+//!   ↓ (burn dispatches via Backend trait)
+//! AdaWorld::float_matmul(lhs, rhs)
+//!   ↓ (check for compiled attention table)
+//!   ├── AttentionTable[q_idx][k_idx]  → O(1)  (if compiled)
+//!   └── ndarray general_mat_mul()     → O(d)  (fallback to BLAS)
+//!         ↓ (ndarray delegates to BLAS or matrixmultiply)
+//!         crate::simd::F32x16         → AVX-512 / AVX2 via LazyLock dispatch
+//! ```

+// NOTE: Full Backend trait implementation requires ~200+ methods across 7 traits.
+// This is tracked as a multi-session effort:
+//
+// Session 1 (current): Crate skeleton + architecture + tensor primitive
+// Session 2: FloatTensorOps core (from_data, matmul, add, mul, exp, reshape, transpose)
+// Session 3: IntTensorOps + BoolTensorOps
+// Session 4: ModuleOps (conv, embedding) + ActivationOps
+// Session 5: QTensorOps + TransactionOps + burn-backend-tests
+//
+// The implementation follows burn-ndarray's pattern but uses:
+//   - crate::simd::F32x16 for element-wise ops (not macerator)
+//   - LazyLock<SimdDispatch> for runtime tier selection (not compile-time features)
+//   - Optional AttentionTable for compiled attention (unique to this backend)
