✨ Add QCO DD sampling and classical registers

[simon1hofmann]

🤖 AI text below 🤖

Summary

Extend QCO decision-diagram execution and expose it through Python.

• Add build_functionality, simulate, and zero-state sample bindings.
• Execute measurement/reset, concrete classical SSA, CBit registers, qco.if, qco.index_switch, bounded scf.for, and non-recursive single-block calls.
• Sample correlated returned CBit registers, with final-basis sampling as the fallback.
• Reuse one DD evolution for deferrable terminal measurements.

Scope

• Functionality construction remains limited to compile-time-known unitaries.
• Sampling starts from zero; simulation accepts a live input DD from the supplied package.
• Qtensors, scf.while, recursion, and multi-block functions remain unsupported. Nested execution has a shared 10,000-step budget.
• Direct C++ APIs require verified, linear QCO.
• The implementation relies on the static-qubit ownership and uniqueness guarantees now provided by main.
• Cleanup remains explicit because canonicalization can remove terminal wires and change fallback sample width.

Validation

• Release C++ suite: 4,042/4,042 passed, with one documented skip.
• Focused QCO DD suite: 47/47 C++ and 6/6 Python tests passed.
• Python Nox matrix: 3,143 tests passed across Python 3.11–3.14, with documented skips.
• Stub generation, repository-wide lint, C++ lint, the full release build, and git diff --check passed.

Dispatch arith::ExtUIOp to applyUnsignedIndexCast.

arith.extui reaches applyClassicalOp, which has no arith::ExtUIOp case. It therefore emits "unsupported classical op for QCO DD simulation".

Add the dispatch and a direct GoogleTest for i1 to index extension.

Addressed the outside-diff arith.extui finding from the latest CodeRabbit review in 01e8bb8aa. Both dispatch layers now recognize arith::ExtUIOp, the evaluator reuses the existing unsigned-cast implementation, the public support list is updated, and SimulateExtUI makes the zero extension observable through qco.if.

One correction to the suggested test: arith.extui i1 -> index is invalid MLIR because arith.extui only accepts fixed-width integer-like types. The regression therefore covers the valid i1 -> i8 form. Full lint and all 127 QCO utility tests pass; the standalone cpp-lint session cannot start on this host because the project requires clang-tidy 22.
