[CK TILE] fix numerical errors of preshuffle_b

This pull request introduces several improvements and fixes related to
quantized grouped GEMM (General Matrix Multiply) pipelines and their
supporting utilities.

# The numerical issue

## Steps to reproduce
```bash
Run
./bin/tile_example_gemm_weight_preshuffle -prec=fp8
./bin/tile_example_gemm_weight_preshuffle -prec=int4
```

# Solution
The main changes address type correctness, improve data layout and
shuffling logic, and expand test coverage to better validate different
GEMM configurations.

**Key changes include:**

### Data layout and shuffling logic

* Refactored the logic in `shuffle_b_permuteN` to use `constexpr`
variables for `KLane` and `ItemsPerAccess`, simplifying tile view
construction and correcting the permutation order for improved
efficiency and correctness (`tensor_shuffle_utils.hpp`).
* Fixed the calculation of `KLaneBytes` in weight preshuffle pipeline
policies to account for internal data type conversion (e.g., from
`pk_int4_t` to `fp8`), ensuring accurate memory access and alignment in
quantized GEMM policies (`wp_pipeline_agmem_bgmem_creg_base_policy.hpp`,
`gemm_wp_abquant_pipeline_ag_bg_cr_base_policy.hpp`).

### Test infrastructure enhancements

* Unit tests did not catch this issue since there were no tests for fp8.
Added new configuration structs (`config_mn_16x16`, `config_mn_32x32`)
to support additional GEMM tile shapes and updated tests to run with
these configurations for broader coverage
(`test_gemm_pipeline_util.hpp`).

CK Tile Example Suite

This directory contains a comprehensive suite of examples demonstrating the CK Tile programming model for high-performance GPU kernels. Each example illustrates a key deep learning or HPC operation, implemented using tile-based parallelism, modular pipelines, and data movement policy.


What is CK Tile?

CK Tile is a composable GPU programming API that expresses kernels as a composition of "tiles"—rectangular blocks of computation and data movement. The pipeline & policy orchestrates data movement (global <-> LDS <-> registers), computation, and synchronization, enabling high efficiency and flexibility.
