feat: CCCL-derived 3-tier decode dispatch + SM=16 prefill tuning + multi-step scheduling

paged_attn.py:
- Remove use_v1=True hardcode that forced all decode through ixf_F V1
- Wire up paged_attention_v2_triton.py as Tier 2 decode path for seq_len > 8192
- 3-tier dispatch: V1 (short) → Triton V2 (long) → PyTorch (fallback)
- Triton V2 uses CCCL compound-reduce pattern (summary_statistics.cu)
  with GQA broadcast (6x KV read reduction for Qwen3.6)
- This is the single highest-impact change: Output TPS is 83% of score

prefix_prefill.py:
- CCCL scan-tuning-informed block sizes for BI-V100 (SM=16, 48KB SMEM)
- BI-V100 path: BLOCK=64 NUM_WARPS=4 (vs BLOCK=128 NUM_WARPS=8 on A100+)
- Matches muh/tuning/tuning_scan.cuh bi100_lookback_4B_o4 pattern
- Fewer warps = less register pressure = higher occupancy on 16 SMs

computility-run.yaml:
- Add --num-scheduler-steps=8: batch 8 decode iterations per Python call
  (cuts scheduler overhead ~8x, directly improves Output TPS)
- Add --preemption-mode=recompute (cheaper than swap on BI-V100 HBM)
- Add TRITON_CACHE_DIR for JIT warmup persistence
- Add TRITON_PRINT_AUTOTUNING=0 (use hardcoded CCCL configs, skip autotune)

Competition impact estimate:
- Tier 2 Triton V2 replaces PyTorch fallback for 8K-100K contexts → ~5-10x decode speedup
- Multi-step scheduling → ~20-30% Output TPS improvement
- SM=16 block tuning → ~10-15% Input TPS improvement
