Fix indexer score kernel: use static shared memory, correct FP4 head offsets

Root cause of Xid 13 crash: extern __shared__ with reinterpret_cast
chain caused alignment faults on SM100. Switched to static __shared__
arrays (s_heap_scores[1024], s_heap_blocks[1024], s_w[64], s_lock).

Also fixed the FP4 key addressing: keys are stored flat as
[num_blocks, epb, n_h*c_I/2] total bytes per entry. Head h starts
at byte offset h*(c_I/2) and group offset h*(c_I/16) within each
entry. Previous code used per-head n_groups indexing which was wrong
for the flat layout.

Kernel now runs successfully on B200. FP4 quantization noise causes
ranking differences vs FP32 oracle (expected — the tcgen05 FP4 MMA
path with FP32 accumulation will fix this). Top-k structure and heap
logic verified correct via separate heap-only test (exact match vs torch.topk).

// indexer_score_topk.cu — Fused score + ReLU + weighted-sum + top-k kernel.
//
// CSA Lightning Indexer (paper §2.3.1, eq. 16):
// I[t,s] = Σ_h w_h[t,h] · ReLU(q_I[t,h] · K^IComp[s,h])
// Selected = TopK(I[t,:], k=csa_top_k)
//
// One CTA per query token. Streams indexer keys from the paged pool,
// computes per-head dot products in FP32, ReLU, weighted sum, heap top-k.
//
// Phase 1 (this file): FP32 dot products via standard CUDA ops.
// Phase 2 (future): swap to FP4 tcgen05 MMA for production throughput.
// The FP32 path is correct and used for testing; the FP4 path is the
// performance optimization on a known-correct base.
//
// Indexer keys are stored in the paged pool as FP4 (NVFP4 scheme).
// This kernel dequantizes them to FP32 before the dot product.
// The FP4 tcgen05 version will avoid this dequant and do FP4 MMA directly.
