Vijay Janapa Reddi 522946ecfd Add comprehensive unit tests for gradient flow regression prevention
- test_spatial_gradient_flow.py: Tests Conv2d and MaxPool2d backward function attachment and gradient propagation
- test_embedding_gradient_flow.py: Tests Embedding backward function attachment and gradient propagation
- Tests verify _grad_fn attachment to prevent .data bypass issues
- Tests validate gradient flow to all parameters (weight, bias)
- Tests check end-to-end gradient chains
- All tests pass (8/8 spatial, 6/6 embedding)

"""
Test gradient flow through Embedding layer.
These tests ensure that:
1. EmbeddingBackward is properly attached to Embedding outputs
2. Gradients flow correctly to embedding weight matrix
3. Integration with autograd system works end-to-end
Prevents regression of gradient flow issues discovered in milestone testing.
