Vijay Janapa Reddi 27e1dd1495 Add consistent caption styling and enhance table captions
Caption Styling:
- Add bold labels (Figure/Table/Listing numbers) for visual hierarchy
- Use small font size with proper spacing (8pt skip)
- Period separator after labels for professional appearance
- Justified text alignment for clean presentation
- Position tables captions at top, figures at bottom (academic standard)

Enhanced Table Captions:
- Table 1: Explain TinyTorch's bridging role between educational and production frameworks
- Table 2: Clarify dual-concept pedagogy (ML algorithms + systems implications)

All captions now follow consistent pedagogical structure:
1. Opening statement of what element shows
2. Key components and their significance
3. Educational rationale and learning benefits
