ferrox-quant 0.8.0

//! Interleaved Q4_K / Q5_K × Q8_K and Q8_0 × Q8 GEMV (llama.cpp repack layouts).
//!
//! - Q4_K: packs 8 rows into `block_q4_Kx8` (`make_block_q4_Kx8`).
//! - Q5_K: packs 8 rows into `block_q5_Kx8` (`make_block_q5_Kx8`).
//! - Q8_0: packs 4 rows into `block_q8_0x4` (`make_block_q8_0x4`) with
//!   4-byte interleave for NEON SDOT `ggml_gemv_q8_0_4x4_q8_0`.
//! - Q4_0: packs 4 rows into `block_q4_0x4` (`make_block_q4_0x4`) with
//!   4-byte interleave + XOR `0x88888888` for `ggml_gemv_q4_0_4x4_q8_0`.
//!
//! Gated on `FERROX_CPU_INT_DOT`, which `ferrox` and `ferrox-server`
//! turn on by default (`=0` opts out); off in the library so golden
//! cross-validation stays reference-exact.
