Keep aligned final projection tiles for Qwen3 and Qwen3.5 generation, preserving full-output paths and cache updates. Add exact parity, fallback, and local checkpoint tests.

Proposed changes
Qwen currently computes output scores for prompt positions that normal generation discards. This change reduces that work, making prompt processing faster and reducing peak memory usage.
Applies to supported quantized Qwen3 and Qwen3.5 models, including Qwen3.5’s vision-language path. It keeps the same calculation order for the final scores and preserves full outputs where needed, including speculative decoding.
On my Apple M2 with 16GB RAM, using 512-token text prompts and alternating baseline/optimized runs:
Peak memory decreased by approximately 130, 185, and 212 MiB respectively. Gains depend on prompt length and prefill chunking.
Exact comparisons passed for final scores, cache contents, and generated tokens on both cached checkpoints.
