model-conversion : add BUILD_DIR variable to run-converted-model scripts (#18927)
This commit adds a BUILD_DIR variable to the scripts used for running

The motivation for this is that currently the `build` directory is
hardcoded and it can be useful to specify a different build directory,
with builds for different configurations.

Moved `hvx_sum_of_squares_f32`, `hvx_min_scalar_f32`, and `hvx_clamp_scalar_f32` from `hvx-utils.c/h` to `hvx-arith.h`. Implemented aligned/unaligned variants (`_aa`, `_au`, etc.) and used macros to reduce code duplication.

vulkan: Use VK_EXT_shader_64bit_indexing to handle large mat_mul(_id) (#18678)
This fixes incoherent output in Llama-4-Maverick-17B-128E-PAB-Q8_0, which
has a mul_mat_id with an A matrix that's Q8_0 8192 x 5120 x 128.
This should work when the number of blocks in the A matrix is less than 2^32
(for mul_mat_vec or mul_mm_cm2), or for mul_mm I think the limit is like
2^32*LOAD_VEC_A elements.
- Divide batch_stride by QUANT_K earlier, so the block index calculation works in 32b.
- Each vk_pipeline_struct has a linked list of pipelines that will allow it to handle
variants. So far this change just adds a single use case for this, compiling with the
e64BitIndexingEXT flag.
- Use the 64b indexing variant when the A matrix is larger than maxStorageBufferRange.
64-bit indexing has some cost - around 3-5% in MoE models, so it's worth the effort
to avoid enabling it unconditionally.
