// Multi-dtype CPU ReLU: float32 / float16 / bfloat16 / int8.
// ReLU is memory-bound, so the kernel maximizes effective bandwidth:
//   * AVX2 (256-bit) vectorized, runtime-dispatched (falls back to a portable
//     auto-vectorized scalar loop if the CPU lacks AVX2).
//   * Non-temporal streaming stores when the output is 32B-aligned (skips
//     write-allocate/RFO traffic) -> ~2.4x the old SSE-1-thread backend.
//   * OpenMP across cores (active when the build links -fopenmp; correct serial
//     otherwise).
// fp16/bf16 relu = "zero the lane if the sign bit is set" (both are 16-bit
// sign-magnitude floats), done as branchless integer SIMD -- no fp conversion.
// int8 relu = signed byte max with 0 (_mm256_max_epi8).
