ywkang 7a9d4ec47b gqa(adr): pivot ADR-0060 to composite hybrid + lazy tl.load; add ADR-0064 cost model
- ADR-0060: GEMMs (Q.Kt, P.V) via existing tl.composite (scheduler-managed
  tiling + K/V DMA streaming); softmax merge + IPCQ tree reduction stay in
  kernel. Front TL;DR pseudocode of the final composite kernel; new section
  B lists open design items (DDD sync, K pre-transpose, dma_read lever,
  kernel-vs-scheduler tiling, ring path).
- ADR-0062: redefined from a new load_async op to global lazy tl.load
  (non-blocking + auto-wait on first use; API unchanged; goldens regenerate).
- ADR-0064 (new): per-op-type CPU issue cost model (composite ~40ns >>
  primitive) so the hybrid's CPU-saturation win becomes measurable
  (currently dispatch_cycles=0 hides it). Cost-model impl deferred.
- KO mirrors for ADR-0060/0062/0064 (-ko suffix, adr-proposed).

Rationale: non-blocking CompositeCmd offloads tiling to PE_SCHEDULER,
decoupling CPU issue-rate from execution so the CPU can saturate the
engines; the prior 'composite = no latency benefit' claim was an artifact
of dispatch_cycles=0. Docs only; no production code changed.
