Refactor the latency sweep from one giant test into 36 parametrized
cases that run in parallel under xdist (~6-8x faster: 1:49 instead of
~10 min). Each case writes a JSON row to a staging dir; conftest
sessionfinish hook aggregates rows on the controller node into
summary.csv and the per-topology + overview plots.
Aggregator gains a CSV fallback so plot-only tweaks no longer require
re-running the sweep.
Overview plot updates:
- 96 KB explicit x-axis marker with vertical dotted line
- horizontal theoretical 2D-torus reference (10600 ns)
- annotation showing both theoretical and simulated values at 96 KB
- drop overlapping 128 KB tick
New topology.png: 2x2 panel diagram showing device-level topology
(ring, torus 2x3, mesh 2x3) and the cube-level reduction inside SIP 0.
Wrap arrows anchor on box edges and arc outside rows/columns so they
do not overlap any SIP.

mesh_2d, torus_2d, and mesh_2d_no_wrap accept optional w,h kwargs;
sqrt fall-back preserved for square layouts (back-compat tests
confirm 4-SIP and 9-SIP square configs still work). sfr_config
reads system.sips.w/h from spec and threads dims through to the
topology fn.
test_allreduce_multidevice CONFIGS switched from 4 SIPs (square)
to 6 SIPs: ring_1d_6sip, torus_2d_6sip_2x3, mesh_2d_no_wrap_6sip_2x3.
_write_temp_configs writes system.sips.w/h when supplied;
_sip_topo_dims reads them back. Latency sweep loop also moved to
6-SIP layouts. Linear-scale plot variants dropped -- only log-scale
*.png + summary.csv emitted. Plots in tests/allreduce_latency_plots
regenerated.
New tests/test_sip_topology_rectangular.py asserts neighbor
correctness for 2x3 layouts and back-compat for square fallback.
