♻️ refactor: rewrite select_blocks with 3-stage KV chunking algorithm

Implement correct 3-stage KV chunking for XAttention offload mode:
- Stage 1: Compute partial softmax stats (m, l) for each KV chunk
- Stage 2: Merge all partial stats to get global normalization factors
- Stage 3: Normalize with global stats and compute block sums

Key fixes:
- Add wait_all_prefill_offloads() before loading CPU blocks to ensure
  async offload completion (fixes stale data bug)
- Pre-allocate m/l partial buffers and block_sums buffer

This produces identical density to GPU-only xattn_estimate while using
O(S×C) peak memory instead of O(S²).

Compute attention scores for all available blocks using flat_group_gemm,
then use softmax_fuse_block_sum and find_blocks_chunked to select important blocks.
Select important blocks using 3-stage KV chunking algorithm.
This method aligns with GPU-only xattn_estimate_chunked:
1. Loads each K block from CPU (historical blocks)
2. Gets current chunk K from prefill buffer
3. Concatenates [historical K, current chunk K] for correct softmax normalization
4. Uses causal=True with correct chunk_start for position-aware masking
5. Only selects from historical blocks (current chunk is always full attention)
This method implements the same algorithm as tests/test_xattn_estimate_alignment.py:
1. For each KV chunk: compute attention scores and partial softmax stats
2. Merge all partial stats to get global m and l
3. For each KV chunk: normalize with global stats and compute block sums
4. Use find_blocks_chunked to select important blocks
This approach:
- Uses O(S×C) peak memory instead of O(S²)
- Produces identical density to GPU-only xattn_estimate
- Supports ultra-long contexts
Args:
available_blocks: List of CPU block IDs (historical blocks only)
offload_engine: OffloadEngine for loading blocks
ctx: PolicyContext with metadata
q: Query tensor [seq_len, num_heads, head_dim] for current chunk
k: Key tensor [seq_len, num_kv_heads, head_dim] for current chunk (used for estimation)
