Add deck builder + overview-with-ref diagram scripts

scripts/build_overview_slides.py renders a 5-slide PPTX
(kernbench2_overview.pptx) summarizing architecture, model
correctness, IPCQ, allreduce, and buffer-kind tier comparison.

scripts/emit_overview_with_external_ref.py renders log-y and
broken-y variants of the allreduce overview (overview_log.png,
overview_broken.png) including a 366 µs ext-sim reference marker
at 96 KB / PE.

Also includes cube_mesh_view.png rendered from the SVG.

"""Generate a 5-slide PPTX summarizing the kernbench2 model.
Slides (in order):
1. Overall architecture — how PEs are connected (cube_mesh_view)
2. Model correctness — DMA vs P2P latency (pe2pe overview)
3. PE-to-PE IPCQ communication (ipcq_two_pe_dma)
4. 6-device allreduce — model vs theoretical vs ext-sim (overview_broken)
5. IPCQ buffer-kind sweep — TCM vs SRAM vs HBM (buffer_kind_sweep)
This is a derived-artifact generator — no production code touched.
