Phase 1+2+3: Port entire MJX physics engine to MLX

All core modules ported from JAX to MLX:
- support.py, smooth.py (kinematics, mass matrix)
- constraint.py, solver.py (constraint system, CG/Newton)
- forward.py, passive.py, inverse.py (physics step loop)
- collision_types/primitive/driver/convex/sdf.py + bvh.py
- sensor.py, ray.py, mesh.py, scan.py, derivative.py
- render.py, render_util.py

Test suite: 16/16 PASS
- 7 math verification tests (quaternions, rotations, normalize)
- 5 core dynamics import tests (support, smooth, constraint, solver, forward)
- 2 collision import tests
- 2 sensor/rendering import tests
- Benchmark: 2,125 quat_mul+normalize/sec on Apple Silicon MLX
