feat(moe): wire silu_and_mul through C++ bridge in corex_moe.py

Now MoE activation uses:
  Tier 0: ix_bridge.silu_and_mul (C++ ixformer_torch_ext, verified on BI-V100)
  Tier 1: ixformer.functions.silu_and_mul (Python)
  Tier 2: F.silu(gate) * up (pure PyTorch)

Verified 7/8 on single BI-V100:
  ✓ compile, silu_and_mul, rms_norm, fused_add_rms_norm, linear, paged_attn, corex_moe
  ✗ flash_attn import path (not needed, vllm xformers backend handles it)
