sccl: drive allreduce tests via torch.distributed; reorganize into tests/sccl/

Convert the multidevice allreduce correctness + latency/buffer-kind sweeps
to run through the real PyTorch-distributed path
(init_process_group(backend="ahbm") -> mp.spawn -> dist.all_reduce) instead
of direct ctx.launch, and reorganize the CCL/allreduce tests into a
tests/sccl/ package split one test per file.

Production change (required for the distributed path on non-square SIP grids):
- AhbmCCLBackend now reads explicit system.sips.w/h from the spec, with a
  square-only sqrt fallback that raises on ambiguity, instead of silently
  guessing round(sqrt(count)). This fixes the 2x3 / 3x2 torus + mesh cases,
  which previously resolved to a wrong 2x2 grid. Mirrors the test helper's
  _sip_topo_dims precedence (explicit w/h > square fallback > raise).

Test reorganization (tests/sccl/):
- _allreduce_helpers.py: shared plumbing (distributed driver, config writers,
  direct-launch run_allreduce parity reference, sweep/buffer-kind constants,
  plot aggregators, topology-diagram + FSIM-comparison emitters).
- test_allreduce_ring_torus_mesh.py: correctness across ring/torus/mesh.
- test_distributed_default_topology.py: full distributed path on topology.yaml.
- test_plot_latency_sweep.py / test_plot_buffer_kind_sweep.py: sweep rows.
- test_plot_topology_diagram.py / test_plot_comparison_fsim.py: plot emitters.
- test_intercube_root_center.py: moved in (ADR-0032 center-root latency guard).

Also:
- Move the FSIM comparison plot generator out of scripts/ into the sccl suite.
- Delete superseded test files (test_allreduce_multidevice,
  test_distributed_lrab_hierarchical_allreduce, test_allreduce_buffer_kind_sweep)
  and repoint conftest aggregators + the ipcq buffer-kind importers.
- Regenerate the allreduce_latency_plots derived artifacts from the full sweep.

"""Phase 1 test for moving the lrab_hierarchical_allreduce root cube from the
bottom-right corner (3,3) to the geometric center (2,2).
Today's algorithm (lrab_hierarchical_allreduce.py) hardcodes
``root_cube = (cube_h-1) * cube_w + (cube_w-1)`` (= cube 15 in 4×4).
The intra-SIP critical path for one allreduce is therefore::
Phase 1 (row reduce W→E to col 3) : 3 hops
Phase 2 (col reduce N→S to row 3 on col 3): 3 hops
Phase 3 (inter-SIP at root) : (separate)
Phase 4 (col broadcast S→N) : 3 hops
Phase 5 (row broadcast E→W) : 3 hops
Total intra-SIP critical path : 12 hops
Moving the root to (2,2) and using BIDIRECTIONAL convergence (cols 0..2
go W→E, col 3 goes E→W in parallel; rows 0..2 go N→S, row 3 goes S→N
in parallel) cuts each phase's critical path from 3 hops to 2::
Phase 1 critical path : max(2, 1) = 2 hops
Phase 2 critical path : max(2, 1) = 2 hops
Phase 4 critical path : 2 hops
Phase 5 critical path : 2 hops
Total intra-SIP critical path : 8 hops
Per-hop cost at 96 KB on TCM ≈ 600 ns (slot IO write+read 384 ns +
fabric drain ~217 ns). 4 fewer hops ⇒ ~2.4 µs reduction.
EXPECTED Phase 1 outcome:
- Today (root = corner) : ~22.0 µs ← test FAILS (> 20500 ns)
- After Phase 2 (root = center) : ~19.6 µs ← test PASSES (< 20500 ns)
