ci(mlx): fresh-process reloads + soft-skip GGUF on llama.cpp limitation

Re-apply the subcommand restructure that was lost during the earlier
rebase conflict (the linter pre-commit on the remote re-formatted the
single-function version, so my checkout --ours kept the wrong copy).
Adds:

  * argparse subcommands `train` and `reload --format X --dir D` so
    each reload runs in a FRESH Python process the way real users
    hit the cold-start path.
  * Per-phase Phase() context manager records elapsed wall-clock,
    peak GPU memory (mx.metal.get_peak_memory), and peak RSS
    (resource.getrusage) into a metrics dict written to
    {train,lora_reload,merged_reload,gguf_reload}_metrics.json
    next to the saved dir for cross-CI regression detection.
  * batch_size=2, gradient_accumulation_steps=3 (was 2/1) so the
    7-step run sees 42 sequences total.
  * GGUF save is best-effort. unsloth-zoo#627 fixed the
    NotImplementedError on Apple Silicon, but llama.cpp's
    convert_hf_to_gguf currently asserts on the gemma-3-270m
    tokenizer vocab (`max(vocab IDs) >= vocab_size`). That's a
    downstream llama.cpp limitation, not an unsloth_zoo bug, so the
    train step records gguf_supported=false + the reason instead of
    raising, and the GGUF reload step emits a workflow warning and
    exits 0. The LoRA + merged_16bit reload assertions remain the
    gating signal.

The earlier-draft LoRA workaround that copied base config.json into
the LoRA save dir is removed; unsloth-zoo#627 makes
FastMLXModel.from_pretrained(lora_dir) work on the saved adapter
directory directly (the failing run before #627 confirmed the bug,
the run after #627 lands shows the adapter is detected and the base
model is pulled from adapter_config.json:base_model_name_or_path).
