feat: add xattn kernels test and update testing rules

- Add test_xattn_kernels.py demonstrating flat_group_gemm_fuse_reshape and softmax_fuse_block_sum Triton kernels with structured data - Update testing.md with new test code style guidelines - Update xattn.py and xattn_bsa.py with improvements Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

 XAttention Block Sparse Attention (BSA) Policy for nano-vllm.

 This module implements XAttention-inspired block sparse attention for chunked prefill.
-Current implementation loads all historical blocks (FULL strategy).

-Sparse selection to be implemented in next phase.
+Key design:
+1. Use xattn_estimate_chunked to estimate sparse block mask
+2. Use BSA kernel for efficient sparse attention computation
+3. Support chunked prefill with q_start_pos for correct position handling
+
+Note: Decode phase is not supported - use FullAttentionPolicy for decode.
