woutermans ba77946a4a Speed up preset M on RDNA4: e4m3 byte activations in the FP8 Swin layers
On the gfx12 native-FP8 path the Swin layers kept GEMM activations as f16
in LDS and encoded them to e4m3 again at every operand load. They are now
encoded once where they are produced, with v_cvt_pk_fp8_f32, and stored as
bytes (SWIN_A8); the patch merge reads the stored output codes. The M
downsample kernels are built as wave64 on gfx12.

RX 9070 XT, 1280x720 -> 3840x2160, D3D12 harness, DLSS 310.7: whole
evaluation 5.9 ms -> 2.8 ms of GPU time with the GPU otherwise idle, 2.4 ms
at 80-98% GPU utilisation. Harness output is byte-identical to the previous
kernels; the accuracy build matches swin_model.py on sampled blocks.

Builds without D4R_FP8_WMMA (RDNA3, and RDNA4 with NativeFp8 off) compile to
the same instructions as before.
