fix: remove BLAS bridge; reimplement dot/norm with pairwise sum

- Delete blas_bridge.h entirely (no external BLAS dependency)
- dot: use pairwise_sum, matches np.sum(a * b) bit-exactly
- linalg.norm: use norm_sq (pairwise_sum), matches np.sqrt(np.sum(a*a))
- Update test references: norm vs np.sqrt(np.sum(a*a)), dot vs np.sum(a*b)
- All 336 tests pass with bit-level alignment
