fix(ci): build Bonsai backend images
Register the Bonsai C++ source path with the backend matrix filter so changes select its image jobs. Also make shared llama.cpp changes rebuild the Bonsai and Turboquant fork images in the actual matrix, not only their test flags.\n\nAssisted-by: Codex:gpt-5 [Codex]

feat(bonsai): add PrismML llama.cpp fork backend + Bonsai gallery models
Adds a new `bonsai` backend that runs the PrismML fork of llama.cpp
(github.com/PrismML-Eng/llama.cpp, `prism` branch), which ships the Q1_0
(1-bit) and Q2_0 (ternary / 1.58-bit) weight-quantization kernels used by the
Bonsai and Ternary-Bonsai models. Stock llama.cpp cannot decode these quants.
Modeled on the turboquant backend: reuses backend/cpp/llama-cpp/grpc-server.cpp
against the fork's libllama via a thin wrapper Makefile, so the sub-2-bit models
are served with the same OpenAI-compatible API. No grpc-server allow-list patch
is needed (bonsai adds weight quants, transparent to the server, not KV-cache
types), and the reused server compiles cleanly against the fork with no skew
patches (validated locally via a CPU docker build; patches/ is present but empty
for any future re-pin skew).
Backend wiring: backend/cpp/bonsai/, .docker/bonsai-compile.sh,
backend/Dockerfile.bonsai, top-level Makefile targets, backend-matrix.yml build
rows (CPU, CUDA 12/13, L4T, SYCL f32/f16, Vulkan, ROCm/hipblas), backend/index.yaml
meta-backend + per-platform images, and a nightly bump_deps entry tracking the
`prism` branch.
Gallery: 8 entries across 4 families - bonsai-8b-1bit, ternary-bonsai-8b (+g64,
+pq2), bonsai-27b-1bit (vision), ternary-bonsai-27b (+pq2, +g64, vision). The 27B
models wire the mmproj vision tower; the DSpark speculative drafter GGUFs are not
wired (custom semi-autoregressive drafter, not a standard llama.cpp draft model).
