whn09 c142435472 Neuron deep_ep: MoE dispatch/combine via all-gather + reduce-scatter (issue #12)
Uneven all_to_all on the neuron process group is unreliable at scale (EP=64:
"Invalid NEFF" in prefill; test_ep at 64 ranks hung after 9/18 modes).
EPBuffer now moves tokens without all_to_all:
- dispatch: one all_gather of x / sf / weights / topk_idx packed as uint8
  rows (row count = global max via a 0-dim MAX all_reduce, or the static
  num_max_tokens_per_rank with DEEPINFER_NEURON_EP_AG_ROWS=cap); each rank
  selects the rows routed to its local experts in the same (source rank,
  source token) order as before, so layout / metadata / cached dispatch are
  unchanged.
- combine: per-token fp32 partials over local experts (bf16-rounded as
  before) + weights, one fp32 SUM reduce_scatter (all_reduce fallback with
  DEEPINFER_NEURON_EP_REDUCE=ar), chunked under
  DEEPINFER_NEURON_EP_CHUNK_BYTES (64 MiB).
- The a2a path stays behind DEEPINFER_NEURON_EP_ALGO=a2a.

test_ep passes on the neuron group at 2/4/8/16/32/64 ranks (combine
bit-identical to the reference in practice); new test_collectives.py found
that int32 all_gather with full-range values is wrong on a 16-rank neuron
group for >= 1 MiB outputs (uint8 / fp32 fine) -- payloads move as bytes.
Tiny model EP=8 on NeuronCores: 25/27 argmax vs the reference, same as EP=1.
