    llama: add Maple 20B-A1B ternary MoE architecture (CPU) (#27000)

    * gguf-py: add Maple tensor constants

    Add MODEL_ARCH.MAPLE, its "maple" name, and the tensor list for the
    Maple 20B-A1B ternary MoE architecture: token embeddings, output,
    attention with Q/K RMS norms, and per-expert FFN tensors.

    * convert: add Maple HF->GGUF converter

    Register MapleForCausalLM in the HF architecture map and add the
    converter for the Maple 20B-A1B ternary MoE model: 24 layers, 256
    experts with 8 active, sliding-window attention (SWA-512) interleaved
    with global attention at a 3:1 ratio, partial rotary factor 0.5, and
    per-expert weight stacking into merged 3D tensors.

    * llama: add Maple architecture (20B-A1B ternary MoE)

    Add the Maple 20B-A1B ternary MoE architecture: 24 layers, 256
    experts with 8 active, sliding-window attention (SWA-512) interleaved
    with global attention at a 3:1 ratio, and ternary TQ1_0/TQ2_0
    quantization support.

    - register LLM_ARCH_MAPLE between MAMBA2 and JAMBA
    - implement llama_model_maple: Q/K RMS norms after projection (GEMMA4
      style), rope applied only on SWA layers (nope_on_global_attention),
      ISWA KV cache, and MoE FFN with swiglu gate clamp at +7 (DEEPSEEK4
      style)
    - mark MAPLE as unsupported by the model saver (roundtrip skipped)

    * tests: mark Maple as MoE-mandatory

    Maple is always-MoE: the model throws when n_expert == 0, so the
    test harness must only run the MoE config for LLM_ARCH_MAPLE.

    * maple: apply review feedback (n_ff_exp_arr, get_arr, rope params)

    - load_arch_hparams: use n_ff_exp_arr + n_ff_exp() accessor (upstream
      changed these from a scalar member during the rebase)
    - sliding_window_pattern: get_arr, the pattern is mandatory for this arch
    - partial_rotary_factor: read only from rope_parameters (base.py mirrors
      the top-level key automatically)
    - document why TOKEN_EMBD/OUTPUT are forced to F16 (they are the two
      dense tensors in Maple, and the reference GGUFs ship them as F16)
    - add @ModelBase.example("deepgrove/maple-preview")

    * tests: add Maple to the SWA pattern array list

    get_arr for maple.attention.sliding_window_pattern requires an array, but
    the harness only emitted a per-layer array for the arches in its list, so
    test-llama-archs -a maple failed to load the model.

    * maple: move swiglu_clamp_exp to the converter

    The loader prefilled 7.0 and read the key optionally. The converter now
    writes it and the loader reads it as required, because llama-graph.cpp
    skips the clamp when the limit is 0 and an optional read would silently
    run unclamped. The test harness provides the key for the same reason.

    Also drops tensor_force_quant: base.py already forces FFN_GATE_INP to F32
    and TOKEN_EMBD/OUTPUT to F16 for ternary file types.

    Assisted-by: DeepSeek Harness

    * convert: fix the LazyBase func signature in the Maple converter

    ty flagged the stack() closure: it takes no argument, while LazyBase is
    annotated with func: Callable[[Any], Any]. Pass the tensor list through
    args instead of closing over it, the same way kimi_k3 does, so the
    callable shape matches.
