feat(v7-c05): axis-wise tensor reshard + opt-state + incompat error

Closes AC#1/#2/#3 gaps from V7-C05 audit. Round-robin shard
distribution (V7-C02) doesn't actually re-shard tensors when topology
changes — column-parallel out_proj saved at world=8 needed to be
gathered + re-split for load_world=2, but old impl only redistributed
whole tensor files.

New cppmega_v4/runtime/checkpoint_reshard.py:
  - reshard_along_axis(state, axis_for_key, target_world): splits each
    axis-aware tensor with mx.split. Keys without an axis entry are
    replicated to every rank (FSDP norm-scale / bias convention).
  - gather_full_from_axis_shards: inverse via mx.concatenate.
  - ensure_axis_divisible: ValueError when n-along-axis % target_world
    != 0, with the offending key name (AC#3).
  - save_resharded + load_resharded persist an axis-index.json that
    records per-key axis so a future load can re-gather first then
    re-split into the new topology.

13 new pytest cover:
  AC#1 (4 parametrised + disk roundtrip): bit-exact gather→re-split
       across (8,1), (1,8), (4,2), (2,4) topology changes.
  AC#2: Adam moment table (same shapes as params) round-trips through
       4-way reshard without corruption.
  AC#3: target_world=5 against dim=32 raises with key + 'not divisible'
       in message; target_world=0 raises; reshard_along_axis propagates
       the same error.
  + replicated-key path, axis metadata in index, unknown-format reject.

bd: cppmega-mlx-bjiy (AC#1/#2/#3 closure)
13 new pytest + 4 topology regression all green.

+"""V7-C05: tensor-axis re-shard for resume across topology change.
+
+The V7-C02 shard format distributes whole tensors across files by key
+(round-robin). For real FSDP-style resume the tensors themselves are
+split along a parameter axis (e.g. column-parallel attention output
+projection: ``W`` is N×D, shard N along axis-0 into N/M pieces per
+rank).
+
+This module provides the axis-wise re-shard primitive:
+
+  resave_along_axis(state, axis_for_key, save_world, load_world, out_dir)
+    -> writes load_world-many shards where each shard's tensor for key
+       K is the rank-r slice of state[K] along axis_for_key[K].
+
+  reshard_along_axis(state, axis_for_key, target_world)
+    -> returns list of dicts (one per target rank) with axis-sliced
+       tensors. Used by tests to assert identical model outputs after
+       a save_world -> load_world topology change.
+
+Compatibility check ``ensure_axis_divisible`` raises ValueError when
+``state[k].shape[axis_for_key[k]]`` is not divisible by target_world,
+matching V7-C05 AC#3 ("clear error if M incompatible").
