Power-of-Two Latency Attention

Make Laplacian latency attention hardware-friendly by quantizing the exponential decay and row normalization to powers of two. Exponentials and divisions can then be implemented with lookup tables and integer shifts, enabling a low-bit attention kernel for neuromorphic and edge accelerators.
