transformerless_lm: FibGen Pareto bench — K-extension + scale + composed

Three follow-up directions in one bench:

(1) K-EXTENSION at d=128: K in {32, 48, 64} with cross mode. The v2
    sweep stopped at K=32 (FIBONACCI table extended to 32 entries);
    extending to K=64 (table now 64 entries) tests whether more
    Fibonacci-frequency components close the +6.3% gap to dense.

(2) SCALE TEST at d=256: dense_crt vs FibGen K=32 cross at 4x the
    previous scale. FibGen weight storage grows as O(K^2) regardless
    of d_model, while dense grows as O(d_model^2) -- so the compression
    ratio scales as (d/K)^2. At d=4096 (LLM scale) and K=32 that is
    16000x per layer. If the loss penalty stays single-digit at d=256,
    the substrate-generated weight basis demonstrably scales.

(3) COMPOSED TRANSFORMERLESS at d=128: FibGenTransformerless arch
    that stacks every validated substrate primitive in one model:
      - CRT-Fibonacci PE
      - FibGen embedding (substrate-generated)
      - Fibonacci-offset sparse attention (only attends to F(k)-distance positions)
      - FibGen QKV / out weights inside the sparse attention
      - Zeckendorf-routed FFN (n_specialists=5, routed by token-id Zeckendorf)
      - FibGen specialist weights
      - FibGen LM head
    Lazy-loading data by default. Tests whether all the primitives
    compose to compound the wins or interfere and lose.

models_fibgen.FIBONACCI table extended from 32 to 64 entries via the
standard recurrence so K can scale freely.

Smoke @ 60 steps (everything under-converged):
  dense_crt_d128:                val=6.54
  fibgen_K32_cross_d128:         val=3.45
  fibgen_K48_cross_d128:         val=3.46
  fibgen_K64_cross_d128:         val=3.48
  dense_crt_d256:                val=5.25
  fibgen_K32_cross_d256:         val=3.56
  transformerless_K32_cross:     val=3.21 (BEST early -- composed primitives
                                            warm up faster than any single one)

Full 1500-step bench in progress; results in a follow-up commit.
