feat(gemma4): add dflash draft runtime

[dusterbloom]

PR #9 of the Gemma4 split sequence. Adds Gemma4 DFlash draft graph execution, draft KV cache lifecycle, and a smoke test that exercises the full draft forward path (loader → KV cache alloc → prefill → forward). No MTP, no γ>1 speculative decode, no server routing — those land in PR #10/#11/#13.

Depends on #180 → #179 → #177 → #176 → #171 → #170 → #169 → #168. Stacks on `split/gemma4-08-draft-loader-quant`; diff includes ancestor commits until they merge.

Scope (5 files, +761 / -8)

• `dflash/src/gemma4_dflash_graph.cpp` — restores the graph-builder block stripped in feat(gemma4): add draft loader and quantization support #180: two helpers (`draft_swa_trunc_enabled`, `draft_rope` with optional YaRN), `build_draft_kv_prefill_graph` (prefix-direct KV materialisation, SGLang style), `build_gemma4_draft_graph` (KV-cached forward returning softcapped logits).
• `dflash/src/gemma4_target_graph.cpp` — adds `create_draft_kv_cache` + `free_draft_kv_cache` (these live on `GemmaTargetCache` because the draft KV is per-target-cache). Wires `free_draft_kv_cache(c)` into `free_gemma4_cache` and `c.draft_kv_pos = 0` into `reset_gemma4_cache`.
• `dflash/src/internal.h` — adds the `draft_kv_*` fields to `GemmaTargetCache` (ctx, buf, K/V vectors, cap, pos) and prototypes for the four new functions.
• `dflash/test/gemma4/smoke_gemma4_draft_forward.cpp` — end-to-end smoke: loads target + draft, allocates draft KV, runs `build_draft_kv_prefill_graph`, runs `build_gemma4_draft_graph`, asserts non-null logits.
• `dflash/CMakeLists.txt` — wires the new smoke target.

Risk: HIGH

First runtime path that actually executes the DFlash draft. Risk lives in:

• KV cache bounds: `create_draft_kv_cache` reserves `sliding_window + block_size + 32` slots; `build_draft_kv_prefill_graph` aborts on overflow.
• Draft RoPE: optional YaRN scaling via env (`DFLASH_DRAFT_YARN`), default off.
• SWA truncation: optional via env (`DFLASH_DRAFT_SWA_TRUNC`), default off — preserves the pre-PR#129 behavior unless opted in.

Deferred — `test_gemma4_dflash.cpp` integration hunks

The full test driver in `feature/gemma4-support` is 2962 lines with 71 MTP references intermixed. The `--draft-method dflash` flag and dflash-specific code paths cannot be cleanly carved out without (a) duplicating large chunks of the driver scaffolding into a PR-specific copy, or (b) pulling in MTP symbols this PR explicitly excludes. The full driver lands with PR #11 (MTP runtime), which already needs both `--draft-method dflash` and `--draft-method mtp` paths together.

For PR #9, the dedicated `smoke_gemma4_draft_forward` covers the same code paths end-to-end (loader → KV cache → prefill graph → forward graph → logits). The test driver integration is documented to maintainers and tracked.

Forbidden-symbol audit (vs spec exclusion list)

grep -cw 'mtp|MTP' → 0 (all 4 files)
grep -nE 'h_prev|MtpDrafter|MtpLayerWeights|build_mtp_step_graph' → no matches
```

Review checklist (from spec)

• DFlash draft runtime works without MTP code ✓ (compiles independently — verified via syntax-only build of both .cpp files)
• Draft KV cache wrap behavior covered or deferred — deferred: prefix-direct prefill aborts on overflow rather than wrapping; the wrap-or-overflow policy is a follow-up decision once decode-loop logic lands. Smoke exercises happy-path only.
• Test-driver flags introduced here are only DFlash — deferred to PR fix(scripts): auto-fit --max-ctx to prompt size #11 per above.
• No server behavior is changed ✓.

Validation

• `cmake` reconfigure picks up the new smoke target ✓
• `g++ -fsyntax-only gemma4_dflash_graph.cpp` via project's compile_commands flags → exit 0
• `g++ -fsyntax-only gemma4_target_graph.cpp` → exit 0
• Full `cmake --build smoke_gemma4_draft_forward` deferred to CI (no local CUDA build budget this turn)
• Runtime invocation requires both a target GGUF and a draft directory on disk.

Closing: targets obsolete dflash/src/gemma4_*.cpp paths. Gemma4 moved to vendored deps/llama.cpp/src/models/gemma4-iswa.cpp; spec-decode integration is now via the common/ interface layer.
