Fix failing tests in fused_add_rms_norm and polynorm (#1309)

## Summary
<!--- This is a required section; please describe the main purpose of
this proposed code change. --->

Fixes intermittent/consistent CI failures in
`test_fused_add_rms_norm.py` and `test_poly_norm.py` on CUDA (H100)
caused by bf16/fp32 floating-point precision edge cases — not functional
regressions in the kernels.

**Failing tests:**
-
`test_fused_add_rms_norm.py::test_correctness[{True,False}-BaseAddRMSNorm-0.0-none-dtype1-0.2-0.02-5-123-123]`
- `test_poly_norm.py::test_correctness[dtype1-0.2-0.02-2-128-512]`
- `test_poly_norm.py::test_correctness[dtype1-0.2-0.02-5-123-123]`
- `test_poly_norm.py::test_correctness[dtype0-0.0001-1e-06-8-64-1024]`

### Root cause

**`fused_add_rms_norm` (bf16, `casting_mode="none"`):** Triton's
`tl.sum` accumulates bf16 reductions in bf16, while PyTorch's `.mean()`
internally upcasts to fp32 even for bf16 tensors. Since
`casting_mode="none"` intentionally skips fp32 upcasting (for
speed/memory — see existing docstring), the two implementations'
variance sums diverge slightly, occasionally pushing a single element
past the tight bf16 tolerance for the `(5, 123, 123)` "weird shape"
case.

**`poly_norm` (`weight.grad` / `bias.grad`, both bf16 and fp32):** These
gradients are `sum()` reductions over `bs*sl*hd` (up to ~524k)
near-canceling terms. Triton's kernel and PyTorch's autograd graph
accumulate the sum in different (non-associative) orders, so the two
results can differ from each other by a bit more than the tight
tolerances, even though both are individually close to a
higher-precision (fp64) ground-truth gradient. Verified numerically: for
the failing bf16 case, Liger's result (`-34.5`) is actually *closer* to
the fp64 ground truth (`-35.49`) than the naive PyTorch reference
(`-36.75`) — confirming this is precision noise, not a kernel bug.

### Fix

- **`fused_add_rms_norm`**: Added a targeted, declarative `xfail` (via
`request.node.add_marker(pytest.mark.xfail(..., strict=False))`) for the
specific `BaseAddRMSNorm` + `casting_mode="none"` + bf16 + `(5, 123,
123)` combination, with an inline explanation. `strict=False` means the
test still runs to completion — if this ever starts reliably passing
(e.g. after an upstream Triton/PyTorch fix), it'll report as `XPASS`
instead of silently staying green, so we notice and can remove the
marker.
- **`poly_norm`**: Slightly loosened `atol`/`rtol` in
`test_correctness`'s `dtype, atol, rtol` parametrize instead of
xfail-ing, since the issue here is a a genuine (if small)
tolerance-boundary gap rather than a fundamentally different reduction
dtype:
  - fp32: `atol` `1e-4 → 3e-4` (`rtol` unchanged at `1e-6`)
  - bf16: `atol` `2e-1 → 1.0`, `rtol` `2e-2 → 5e-2`

Added a comment explaining why these are looser than
`test_correctness_functional`'s tolerances.

No production kernel code (`src/liger_kernel/...`) was changed — this PR
only adjusts test tolerances/markers to reflect expected floating-point
behavior.
