Rebrand: TurboQuant.cpp → quant.cpp

Minimal C inference engine. 33K LOC. Zero dependencies.

Rename:
- CLI binary: tq_run → quant
- tools/tq_run.c → tools/quant.c
- All user-facing references updated (README, CONTRIBUTING,
  Dockerfile, Makefile, scripts, Python bindings)
- Internal API (tq_* prefix) stays unchanged

New README:
- "4x longer context, same hardware" — developer-focused message
- Comparison table vs llama.cpp (33K vs 250K LOC, PPL -3.2% vs +10.6%)
- Honest PPL results with delta compression
- Clean, minimal, ~150 lines

Positioning: quant.cpp is the SQLite of LLM inference —
small, readable, hackable. KV cache compression is the
killer feature, not the whole identity.

34/34 tests passing. Build clean.

 ## Project Overview
 
-TurboQuant.cpp is a cross-platform C/C++ library for extreme KV cache compression in LLM inference.
-It implements PolarQuant + QJL (TurboQuant) algorithms to achieve 5x KV cache memory reduction at 3-bit with zero quality loss.
+quant.cpp is a minimal C inference engine for local LLM with KV cache compression.
+33K LOC, pure C, zero dependencies. Supports 5 architectures via GGUF.
+Killer feature: delta KV compression — 3-bit keys with PPL -3.2% vs FP32.
