Add LpB kernel patches for Qwen3.5 dense models (27B, 9B)

Loop-over-B custom GEMV kernels for expanding projections (N > K):
gate_proj, up_proj, down_proj, in_proj_qkv, in_proj_z, out_proj, q_proj.

These reduce S>1 verification cost from ~7ms/token to ~3ms/token,
critical for speculative decoding speedup.

Auto-detected for model_type=qwen3_5 (dense models like 27B, 9B).
MoE models (qwen3_5_moe) use the existing batched fused patches instead.

"""Isolated loop-over-B GEMV kernel for quantized matmul.
Extracts the loop-over-B pattern from batched_fused_gdn_projections_8bit
but without any epilogues — pure Y = X @ dequant(W)^T output.
For comparing our GEMV approach against MLX's affine_qmv_fast on
an isolated QuantizedLinear operation (e.g., in_proj_qkv: N=8192, K=2048).
TG: (32, 2, 1) = 64 threads = 2 SGs.
Each SG: 4 output rows.
B loop inside row loop for low register pressure (R = 4B + 5).
