Vijay Janapa Reddi 6491a7512e Clean up repository: remove temp files, organize modules, prepare for PyPI publication
- Removed temporary test files and audit reports
- Deleted backup and temp_holding directories
- Reorganized module structure (07->09 spatial, 09->07 dataloader)
- Added new modules: 11-14 (tokenization, embeddings, attention, transformers)
- Updated examples with historical ML milestones
- Cleaned up documentation structure
