tests: flex_moe_merge_parity.py — numerical + perf check for MoE LoRA merge

Standalone test that verifies refresh_moe_lora_merge_from_pristine
produces the same W_inf as the textbook reference
``W_ref[e] = W_pristine[e] + scaling * B[e] @ A[e]`` for both standard
(E, 2I, H) and transposed (E, H, 2I) stacked expert layouts, single and
multi-adapter, fp32 + bf16. All 8 cases bitwise-match.

Also benchmarks the batched torch.baddbmm path against (a) a per-expert
torch.addmm loop of equivalent arithmetic and (b) the dense-layer
torch.addmm used by refresh_lora_merge_from_pristine. At Qwen3-30B-A3B
MoE shapes on B200: baddbmm is 5-9.6x faster than the addmm loop; its
per-expert amortized cost is 3.6-7.1x cheaper than the dense addmm
baseline — baddbmm amortizes kernel launch and grid setup across
E=128 experts in one kernel call.

"""Numerical + performance check for ``refresh_moe_lora_merge_from_pristine``.
Does what we never actually did on this branch: verify the stacked MoE
LoRA merge kernel produces the same W_inf as the textbook reference
``W_ref[e] = W_pristine[e] + sum_a scaling_a * B_a[e] @ A_a[e]`` for both
standard (E, 2I, H) and transposed (E, H, 2I) expert layouts, with 1 and
2 active adapters, then benchmarks the batched ``baddbmm`` path against
the dense-layer-style ``addmm`` loop at Qwen3-30B-A3B MoE shapes.
