fix: unpack_ue4m3_u32 — uint32 lacks CUDA bitwise ops, use int32

PyTorch doesn't implement bitwise_and/shift for UInt32 on CUDA.
Cast to int32 first, then extract bytes, then uint8 → view float8.

Each uint32 contains 4 UE4M3 values packed in bits [0:8], [8:16], [16:24], [24:32].
Must use bit reinterpret (view), NOT value cast (to) — byte 0x3F is the float8
whose bits are 0x3F (~0.984), NOT the integer 63.
CUDA doesn't implement bitwise ops on uint32, so we cast to int32 first.
