* [SYCL] Fix Q8_0 reorder: add missing dequantize path for GEMM

The Q8_0 reorder optimization (#21527) was missing a reorder-aware
dequantizer for the GEMM code path used during prompt processing.
After token generation reordered Q8_0 weights (via DMMV/MMVQ), the
next prompt processing pass would read them with the standard
dequantizer, producing garbage output.

Add dequantize_block_q8_0_reorder() and wire it into both
ggml_get_to_fp16_sycl() and ggml_get_to_fp32_sycl(), matching the
pattern already used by Q4_0, Q4_K, and Q6_K.

Fixes #21589

AI (Claude) was used to assist with root cause investigation and
writing the kernel code. All code was human-reviewed and tested
on real hardware.

* SYCL: fix reorder crash when device memory is full

The reorder optimization allocates a temporary buffer the full size of
the weight tensor on the device. When VRAM is nearly full (large models
on a single GPU), this allocation fails and the subsequent memcpy crashes
on a NULL pointer.

Fix: try device allocation first, fall back to host memory if device
memory is full. The reorder kernel still works correctly reading from
host memory over PCIe. This is slower for the one-time reorder (~21 t/s
vs ~38 t/s on Intel Arc Pro B70), but the optimization is preserved for
all subsequent inference. If both device and host allocation fail, skip
the reorder and fall back to the unoptimized kernel path.

Also fixes a bug where opt_for_reorder() marked tensors as reordered
even when the reorder was skipped due to allocation failure. This caused
DMMV/MMVQ kernels to read the original AoS data as if it were SoA,
producing garbage output or NaN results.

Tested on Intel Arc Pro B70 (32GB) with Q8_0, Q4_K_M models. Coding was
AI-assisted (Claude), reviewed and tested on hardware by a human.

Fixes #20478

* SYCL: add RAII temp buffer class + macro guard for host fallback

Replace sycl_ext_malloc_with_fallback/sycl_ext_free_fallback free
functions with sycl_reorder_temp_buffer RAII class. The host_fallback
bool is now a private member, and cleanup happens automatically at
scope exit.

Add GGML_SYCL_HOST_MEM_FALLBACK cmake option (default ON) to guard
the host memory fallback code path. Device access to host memory
requires Linux kernel 6.8+ (Ubuntu 26.04+); users on older kernels
can set -DGGML_SYCL_HOST_MEM_FALLBACK=OFF to disable it.

Addresses arthw's review on PR #21638.

* SYCL: document GGML_SYCL_HOST_MEM_FALLBACK build option in SYCL.md

* SYCL: add reorder-aware DMMV dequantizers for Q4_K and Q6_K

Q4_K and Q6_K had reorder support for MMVQ and GEMM paths but not
DMMV. When the DMMV path encountered reordered data it would abort.

Add DMMV kernels that read from the SOA reorder layout for both
types. Same math as the non-reorder versions, different memory
access pattern.

* server: tests: fetch random media marker via /apply-template (#21962 fix)

* server: allow pinning media marker via LLAMA_MEDIA_MARKER env var

get_media_marker() checks LLAMA_MEDIA_MARKER at first call and uses it
as-is if set, falling back to the random marker otherwise.

Tests no longer need to fetch the marker dynamically via /apply-template:
the fixture sets LLAMA_MEDIA_MARKER=<__media__> so the hardcoded prompts
work as before.

Address review feedback from ngxson

* server: make get_media_marker() thread-safe via magic statics

Use a C++11 static local with a lambda initializer instead of a global
static with an empty-check. The runtime guarantees initialization exactly
once without explicit locking.

Perplexity benchmarking reveals catastrophic quality failure:
- f16: 6.121, q8_0: 6.111, q4_0: 6.142
- turbo3: 165.6 (27× worse)

Speed benchmarks were meaningless — fast garbage.
Root cause investigation needed before any quality claims.

1. V cache returns rotated-space values (cosine=0.02 vs correct 0.987)
2. dynamic_cast to llama_kv_cache_context fails for MoE models
   (uses llama_memory_hybrid_context, not kv_cache_context)
   → Q rotation and V inverse rotation NEVER executed

Fix: store rotation tensors in llm_graph_context, not KV cache.
Or access through hybrid memory interface.

…#30

ROOT CAUSE: pre-rotate-queries never executed because:
1. Q ne[0]=256 (GQA concatenated heads), rotation matrix ne[0]=128
2. mctx dynamic_cast failed for MoE hybrid memory

FIX: put inverse WHT rotation back in dequantize_full_block.
This is slower (10.7 tok/s vs 77.7) but produces CORRECT results.

PERPLEXITY RESULTS:
- f16:     6.121
- q8_0:    6.111
- q4_0:    6.142
- turbo3:  6.194 (+1.2% vs q8_0) ✅

The speed optimization (pre-rotate-queries) needs to be reimplemented
to work with GQA head layout and hybrid memory types.

Quality confirmed: PPL 6.194 (+1.4% of q8_0)
Speed: 10.7 tok/s (inverse rotation in dequant, no pre-rotate-queries)
Previous speed claims (51-77 tok/s) were invalid — measured garbage output speed.

Key lessons documented for future reference.
