Rewrite pruning framework with full GPU vectorization

- Fully vectorized forward pass (no Python loops over cases)
- True batched population evaluation
- VRAM management with overflow protection
- Added pruning methods: neuron, lottery ticket, topology search
- Improved evolutionary: elite preservation, crossover, adaptive mutation
- Circuit-specific optimized forward functions (Hamming encoder/decoder)

-Unified Threshold Circuit Pruning Framework
-============================================
+Threshold Circuit Pruning Framework v2
+======================================
 
-All pruning methods for threshold logic circuits in a single file.
+Fully vectorized GPU implementation with VRAM management.
 
 Methods:
-    1. Magnitude Reduction (sequential & batched GPU)
-    2. Zero Pruning (sparsification)
-    3. Weight Quantization (force to {-1,0,1})
-    4. Evolutionary Search (mutation + selection)
-    5. Simulated Annealing (gradual cooling)
-    6. Pareto Frontier (correctness vs size tradeoff)
+    1. Magnitude Reduction (vectorized)
+    2. Zero Pruning (vectorized)
+    3. Weight Quantization
+    4. Evolutionary Search (true batched)
+    5. Simulated Annealing
+    6. Neuron Pruning (NEW)
+    7. Lottery Ticket (NEW)
+    8. Topology Search (NEW)
+    9. Pareto Frontier
 
 Usage:
-    python prune.py threshold-hamming74decoder
-    python prune.py threshold-hamming74decoder --methods magnitude,zero,evo
-    python prune.py --list
-    python prune.py --all --max-inputs 8
