Add empirical C++ test calling actual n_embd_s()/n_embd_r()

/**
* Empirical proof: uint32_t integer overflow in llama_hparams::n_embd_s()
*
* This test directly instantiates llama_hparams from llama.cpp and calls
* n_embd_s() with overflow-inducing values, proving the overflow occurs
* in the actual production code (not a simulation).
*
* Build:
* cd llama.cpp
* g++ -std=c++17 -I src -I include -I ggml/include \
* ../gguf_poc/test_hparams_overflow.cpp src/llama-hparams.cpp \
* -o ../gguf_poc/test_hparams_overflow
*
* Run:
* ./test_hparams_overflow
