🧠 Core ML: Standardize test naming in neural network building blocks

- Activations: test_integration_* → test_module_* (module dependency tests)
- Layers: test_matrix_multiplication → test_unit_matrix_multiplication
- Layers: test_dense_layer → test_unit_dense_layer
- Layers: test_layer_activation → test_unit_layer_activation
- Dense: test_integration_* → test_module_* (module dependency tests)
- Spatial: test_integration_* → test_module_* (module dependency tests)
- Attention: test_integration_* → test_module_* (module dependency tests)
- Establishes unit vs module test distinction for neural network components
