Adds TransformerBridge support for Arcee AI's AFM-4.5B (ArceeForCausalLM), a
Llama-style dense decoder whose only architectural novelty is an ungated
squared-ReLU (ReLU^2) MLP (up_proj -> ReLU^2 -> down_proj) instead of the gated
SiLU/GeLU used by Llama.
- Register the "relu2" activation (relu(x)**2) in SUPPORTED_ACTIVATIONS so the
config guard and ActivationFunctionFactory accept HF's hidden_act="relu2".
- New ArceeArchitectureAdapter: Llama attention (RoPE, RMSNorm, GQA, no QK-norm,
no biases) + ungated MLPBridge. Post-activation ReLU^2 neurons are inspectable
via blocks.{i}.mlp.hook_post.
- Register at the four sites (factory, supported_architectures __init__,
model_registry HF_SUPPORTED_ARCHITECTURES + CANONICAL_AUTHORS_BY_ARCH,
generate_report descriptions) and add the two checkpoints to the registry.
- Unit + integration parity tests (fp32 + eager); integration asserts bridge
logits match HF and hook_post exposes non-negative d_mlp-width activations.
Closes TransformerLensOrg#1467
