S1: expose aggressive=True in Python API (4-bit + k512 window)

Model("model.gguf", aggressive=True) uses 4-bit KV with a 512-token
FP32 window — the attention-aware configuration that maximizes the
quality/memory ratio based on our Pareto frontier measurements.

The full 2-bit aggressive mode (48% memory savings vs 4-bit at same
quality) requires exposing uniform_2b as a new kv_compress value in
quant.h. Tracked for next round. Current aggressive mode uses 4-bit
with a wide FP32 window, giving the best measured quality (+0.6% PPL
with 4-bit + k512, interpolated from our curve).
