feat(mlp): add Multi-Layer Perceptron for learned routing

Implements simple feedforward neural network:

- MLP with configurable hidden layers
- Xavier weight initialization
- ReLU activation for hidden layers
- Softmax and argmax utilities
- Basic gradient descent training (placeholder)
- 9 comprehensive tests

Architecture: Input → Hidden Layers (ReLU) → Output
Example: 384-dim embedding → [100, 50] hidden → 3 outputs (Local/Remote/Hybrid)

Future integration:
- Replace heuristic router with trained MLP
- Learn from user feedback (which routing was correct)
- Collect training data: (query features, user-corrected route)
- Train offline, deploy weights

Current: Scaffolding for Phase 3 ML-based routing
