Add scan (prefix sum) operations support

This commit adds support for scan (parallel prefix sum) operations to cuTile,
based on the IntegerReduce branch and commit 0c9ab90.

Key changes:
- Added encode_ScanOp! to bytecode encodings for generating ScanOp bytecode
- Added encode_scan_identity_array! to reuse existing identity encoding
- Added scan intrinsic implementation using operation_identity from IntegerReduce
- Added scan() and cumsum() public APIs with proper 1-indexed to 0-indexed axis conversion
- Added comprehensive codegen tests for scan operations
- Added scankernel.jl example demonstrating CSDL scan algorithm

Features:
- Supports cumulative sum (cumsum) for float and integer types
- Supports both forward and reverse scan directions
- Reuses FloatIdentityOp and IntegerIdentityOp from IntegerReduce
- Uses operation_identity function for cleaner identity value creation
- 1-indexed axis parameter (consistent with reduce operations)
- Preserves tile shape (scan is an element-wise operation along one dimension)

Tests:
- All 142 codegen tests pass (including 6 new scan tests)
- Scankernel.jl example runs successfully with CSDL algorithm

- Clarify that it demonstrates device-side scan operation
- Add note that test might occasionally fail (race condition in phase 2 loop)

Minor comment improvements in scankernel.jl example

- Clarify that it demonstrates device-side scan operation
- Add note that test might occasionally fail (race condition in phase 2 loop)
