Vijay Janapa Reddi 4c31251b39 refactor: standardize paper directory structure across all three papers
Consistent layout for StaffML, mlsysim, and TinyTorch papers:
  - figures/ for all visual assets (SVGs, PDFs, PNGs)
  - scripts/ for utility scripts (analysis, validation, benchmarks)
  - tables/ for standalone table .tex files (StaffML only)
  - Makefile at root for building (created one for mlsysim)

Removed redundant build scripts (compile_paper.sh, build.sh) in
favor of Makefiles. Deleted sort_app_matrix.py (no longer needed).
Merged mlsysim images/ into figures/. Updated all references in
paper.tex, Makefiles, and CI workflows.
