zeekay 38a694bde4 Consolidate VMs into single chains module; cevm Metal anchor + V4 dispatch
VM consolidation (one module, one place only):
- Removed per-VM go.mod/go.sum/VERSION from {aivm,bridgevm,dexvm,evm,
  graphvm,identityvm,keyvm,oraclevm,quantumvm,relayvm,thresholdvm,zkvm}
- All VMs now compile under github.com/luxfi/chains root module
- aivm/, dexvm/, identityvm/, keyvm/, oraclevm/ factory.go + vm.go updated
  for AccelHost wiring

cevm Go-side (evm/cevm/):
- cevm.go, cevm_cgo.go, cevm_nocgo.go: ExecuteBlockV4(backend, threads,
  txs, ctx, state) with StateAccount snapshot
- cevm_secp256k1.go: BatchRecoverSenders Metal LDFLAGS
- cevm_secp256k1_metal_anchor_darwin.{c,go}: anchor to keep linker from
  dropping libsecp256k1_metal.a
- cevm_secp256k1_nocgo.go: stub for non-cgo builds
- plugin.go, fetch-luxcpp.sh, luxcpp-SHA256SUMS, LUXCPP_VERSION:
  pinned luxcpp consumption
- evm/cevm/parallel/parallel.go: BlockExecutor adapter calls
  cevm.ExecuteBlockV4 with state snapshot built from txs+statedb

Quantum/ZK witness:
- quantumvm/quasar_witness.go, zkvm/zwitness.go

go.mod: removed dead `replace github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum => luxfi/geth`
directive (caused dual-path conflict after math semver bump; no remaining
ethereum/go-ethereum imports in source). go mod tidy clean.

Tests: TestBatchRecoverSenders PASS through Metal anchor (cevm package).

# chains/evm — AI Assistant Context
C-Chain VM plugin entry point. Spawns `luxfi/evm.VM{}` over rpcchainvm and
imports every precompile package by side effect (registry pattern).
## Execution backend
Backend selection lives in `backend_cgo.go` / `backend_nocgo.go` (single
cgo-tag pair, no other build flags). `main.go` calls `selectExecutionBackend`
once at startup, before serving rpcchainvm.
- `cgo`: imports `github.com/luxfi/chains/evm/cevm` to link luxcpp shared libs
(`libevm`, `libevm-gpu`, `libluxgpu`, `libcevm_precompiles`), runs
`cevm.Health()` probes, and calls `parallel.SetBackend(AutoEVM)`. Active
backend is CppEVM iff luxfi/evm is built with `-tags cevm`; otherwise
GoEVM (geth) — without losing the GPU ecrecover bridge that registers
itself under `cgo && darwin` in `luxfi/evm/core/parallel/gpu_bridge.go`.
- `!cgo`: `parallel.SetBackend(GoEVM)`. Pure-Go fallback.
## Block STM
Implemented upstream in `~/work/luxcpp/cevm/lib/evm/gpu/`. Reachable from Go
via `cevm.ExecuteBlockV3(backend=CPUParallel|GPUMetal|GPUCUDA, ...)`. The
luxfi/evm tx-executor stub currently does NOT dispatch into ExecuteBlockV3 —
that wire-up is a luxfi/evm-repo change.
## PQ finality
Out of scope. Blocks become PQ-final via P-Chain inclusion (Quasar). See
`~/work/lux/consensus/LLM.md`.
## Build verification
```
GOWORK=off CGO_ENABLED=0 go build ./... # nocgo path
GOWORK=off CGO_ENABLED=1 go build ./... # cgo path (links luxcpp libs)
```
