FP8 GEMM Claude Opus 4.8

"""FP8 e4m3 x e4m3 GEMM with per-output-channel dequant scale.

y = (x @ weight.T) * weight_scale, returned as bf16.
  x:            fp8_e4m3 (M, K)
  weight:       fp8_e4m3 (N, K)
  weight_scale: fp32     (N,)

Real fp8 tensor-core MMA (fp8 inputs, fp32 accumulate):
  * large M  -> persistent kernel with Hopper TMA + WGMMA (tl.dot)
  * skinny M -> direct kernel (decode-style, bandwidth-bound on the weight)
