fix(autograd): Add EmbeddingBackward and ReshapeBackward

Browse Source 
Critical fixes for transformer gradient flow:

EmbeddingBackward:
- Implements scatter-add gradient accumulation for embedding lookups
- Added to Module 05 (autograd_dev.py)
- Module 11 imports and uses it in Embedding.forward()
- Gradients now flow back to embedding weights

ReshapeBackward:
- reshape() was breaking computation graph (no _grad_fn)
- Added backward function that reshapes gradient back to original shape
- Patched Tensor.reshape() in enable_autograd()
- Critical for GPT forward pass (logits.reshape before loss)

Results:
- Before: 0/37 parameters receive gradients, loss stuck
- After: 13/37 parameters receive gradients (35%)
- Single batch overfitting: 4.46 → 0.03 (99.4% improvement!)
- MODEL NOW LEARNS! 🎉

Remaining work: 24 parameters still missing gradients (likely attention)

Tests added:
- tests/milestones/test_05_transformer_architecture.py (Phase 1)
- Multiple debug scripts to isolate issues
