dccd96bc71 fix: add norm extraction to PolarQuant — critical for real KV tensors #15
CRITICAL BUG (found by roast review): PolarQuant codebook was calibrated
for unit-norm vectors only. Real KV cache tensors have norms ~10-50,
causing every coordinate to saturate to extreme centroids.

Fix (per paper page 5): extract L2 norms before quantization, normalize
to unit vectors, quantize, then rescale on dequantization. Norms stored
as float32 metadata alongside indices.

API change: quantize() now returns (indices, norms), dequantize() takes
(indices, norms). All downstream code updated (TurboQuant, KVCache, tests).

Added test_non_unit_norm_vectors at scales [0.01, 1.0, 10.0, 50.0, 100.0].
Zero vector now correctly reconstructs to zero (norm=0).

128 tests, 98% coverage, all green.
