fix: rename stale references and clean up Triton remnants

- Fix broken imports in benchmarks (grouped_fused_mul_poly_norm → fused_mul_grouped_poly_norm)
- Rename GroupedTritonModule → GroupedCUDAModule in benchmarks
- Rename _run_triton → _run_cuda in tests, update docstrings
- Remove stale Triton comments in tests
- Fix return type annotations in __init__.py (None → torch.Tensor)
- Update README with new function name
- Remove TRITON_PRINT_AUTOTUNING env var from profile_bwd.py
