* Makefile: support Linux PowerPC (ppc64le) builds
PowerPC GCC uses -mcpu instead of -march, so the Linux branch failed
with unrecognized option -march=native on ppc64le. Detect ppc64le and
ppc64 via uname -m and use -mcpu=$(ARCH) there. The x86-64 path is
unchanged.
Validated on an IBM POWER8 S824 (Ubuntu 20.04, gcc 9.4): make test-c
passes, teacher forcing 32/32 positions and greedy 20/20 tokens against
the transformers oracle, engine reports the scalar idot fallback.

* VSX integer-dot kernels for POWER8 (12.8x int8, 7.6x int4 over scalar)
Adds a VSX path to dot_i8i8 and dot_i4i8 using vec_msum, which sums
byte products directly into s32 lanes, so the 16-bit saturation bound
of the AVX2 maddubs trick does not apply. abs(w) is built with a
modulo-subtract select instead of vec_abs so w=-128 wraps to 128
unsigned instead of saturating to 127. Nibble unpack uses
vec_mergeh/vec_mergel, which interleave like x86 unpacklo/unpackhi on
ppc64le (verified on hardware). g_i4s=1 on VSX since the f32 fallback
is plain scalar there: measured 5.5x for int4 IDOT at S=1.
Measured on an IBM POWER8 S824 (gcc 9.4, Ubuntu 20.04 ppc64le),
single thread, 1536x6144:
dot_i8i8 1.48 -> 18.99 Gops/s (12.8x)
dot_i4i8 2.33 -> 17.72 Gops/s (7.6x)
S=1 int4 matmul path: 3.925 -> 0.505 ms/call (7.8x vs scalar build)
Adds tests/test_idot.c: exactness test of the compiled idot kernels
(any arch) against a plain-C reference, covering odd tails and the
w=-128 edge. Passes on avx512-vnni (x86) and vsx (POWER8). The tiny
oracle stays token-exact on the VSX build: TF 32/32, greedy 20/20.

New byte-level GBNF-subset engine (c/grammar.h: parser + set-of-stacks PDA
walker) wired into spec_decode as a third draft source ("metodo F"), tried
before MTP/n-gram. Wherever the grammar admits exactly one legal byte, the
forced span is tokenized and injected as drafts; the existing batch-union
verification confirms them, so a wrong or out-of-sync grammar can never
change the output. Lazy arming skips preambles; adaptive guard (same
pattern as MTP) disables the source below 50% acceptance; grammar-accepted
tokens no longer pollute the MTP acceptance counter.
GRAMMAR=file.gbnf enables it in run and serve modes (also with DRAFT=0 and
with the int4 MTP head from #8); GRAMMAR_DRAFT=n caps the span (default 24).
Measured on M3 Max / int8-MTP container, greedy, MTP=0 DRAFT=0, NDJSON
classification: 0.37 -> 0.50 tok/s (1.60 tok/forward, 81 fw per 130 tok),
100% acceptance (48/48), output byte-identical to baseline.
