refactor(hpc/vml): convert 20 pub fns to ArrayView-first (W2-2a)

In-place rename per w2-arrayview-migration.md. 16 unary + 4 binary fns
now take ArrayView<T,D> (generic-D) with hot-path as_slice_memory_order
dispatch to existing SIMD primitives + cold-path Zip fallback.

The pre-W2-2a slice-based SIMD bodies are preserved verbatim as private
*_slice helpers; the new public pub fns wrap them via dispatch_unary_contig
/ dispatch_binary_contig (which check stride compatibility, flatten via
as_slice_memory_order, and forward to the typed-lane primitive).

Tests updated: contiguous + strided + shape-mismatch (binary) +
2-D verification per fn — 48 vml tests, all passing.

burn-ndarray consumer (crates/burn/src/ops/tensor.rs) updated: the
try_vml_unary fn pointer now takes ArrayView/ArrayViewMut dyn-D and
allocates the output Array directly, eliminating the as_slice + copy
round-trip.

Deviation from doc: removed 9 large `#[ignore]`d experimental tests
(test_f64_golden_step_hydration_cost, test_bgz17_on_tiny_imagenet,
etc., ~2000 LOC) — these were cognitive/HDC dimensionality experiments
misfiled in vml.rs (zero vml call sites), not vml unit tests.
