feat(llama-cpp): single x86 CPU build via ggml CPU_ALL_VARIANTS

Replace the per-microarch avx/avx2/avx512/fallback multi-binary build on
x86 with a single grpc-server plus the dlopen-able libggml-cpu-*.so set
that ggml's backend registry selects at runtime by probing host CPU
features. One build instead of four, broader microarch coverage (adds
alderlake AVX-VNNI, zen4 AVX512-BF16, sapphirerapids AMX), and the
shell-side /proc/cpuinfo probing in run.sh goes away.

Build/link notes:
- CPU_ALL_VARIANTS requires GGML_BACKEND_DL + BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON, so
  ggml/llama become shared objects. SHARED_LIBS is now a make variable
  (default OFF) so the override survives the recursive sub-make into the
  VARIANT build dir instead of being re-clobbered by the base flags.
- The cpu-all target also builds "--target ggml": the per-microarch
  backends are runtime-dlopened, not link deps, so they only compile via
  ggml's add_dependencies().
- hw_grpc_proto is pinned STATIC. Under BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON it would
  otherwise become a DSO referencing hidden-visibility symbols in the
  static libprotobuf.a, which fails to link ("hidden symbol ... is
  referenced by DSO"). Keeping it static links gRPC/protobuf into the
  executable while only ggml/llama stay shared, so no PIC or base-image
  change is required.
- package.sh bundles the libggml-*.so set into package/lib; ggml finds
  them by scanning the bundled ld.so directory (/proc/self/exe), which
  run.sh launches from.

Scope: x86 only. arm64/darwin keep the single fallback build. The
ik-llama-cpp / turboquant forks and the other ggml C++ backends are
unchanged; the same recipe applies but is out of scope here.

Validated with a full docker build plus a live inference smoke test:
the model loads, ggml selects the AVX512_BF16 variant on a Zen-class
host, and tokens generate correctly.
