Add DLSS accuracy mode and GLIBC 2.41 release builds

- Add default-off PreferAccuracy for all native kernel families,
  including RDNA4 FP8 variants.

- Restore intermediate FP8 quantization, per-MMA FP16 rounding,
  denormal handling and NGX synchronization in accuracy mode.

- Select separately marked accuracy kernels and use a separate JIT
  cache; reject mixed sets and never silently substitute fast kernels.

- Add a pinned GLIBC 2.41 build environment for ZLUDA/LLVM, the DLLs
  and both kernel sets, with ABI checks and toolchain provenance.

- Support parallel target builds and pre-extracted PTX; correct
  ROCm header paths and Clang-CL input handling.

- Bump to 0.1.3 and update release notes, documentation and tests.

Validation: 11 tests passed; all 912 kernels built; E/K/M GPU harness
runs completed with accuracy off/on. Packaged libraries loaded under
GLIBC 2.41 and require no GLIBC version newer than 2.38.

RTX image-quality parity remains unverified.

- **CUDA NGX instead of D3D12 NGX.** NVIDIA's D3D12 path needs NVIDIA's driver. The CUDA path only needs a CUDA driver API, which ZLUDA provides.
- **The Ada identity.** NGX picks network weights by GPU architecture. The weights have to match the PTX that ZLUDA compiles, which is sm_89 for DLSS 310.
- **Native kernels.** ZLUDA translates NVIDIA's warp-level matrix code faithfully but slowly (register pressure, lane shuffles, per-instruction mode switches). In the DLSS 4 transformer, ZLUDA's translation also produced non-finite outputs, which the final kernel masks, so the network had no effect. The native layers fix both.
- **Native kernels.** Translating NVIDIA's warp-level matrix code is slow (register pressure, lane shuffles, per-instruction mode switches). Earlier translated K layers also produced non-finite outputs that the final kernel masked. Native layers avoid that path; the compiler now preserves FP16 denormal requirements too, which fixes the translated failure in recorded captures. Numerical and image-quality parity with RTX hardware remains unverified.
- **The GPU-side hand-offs.** With DLSS itself fast, most of the remaining gap to FSR 4 was the GPU idling while CPU threads waited on each other. Moving the waits onto the GPU raised GPU utilisation from about 95% to 99%.
