feat: Add comprehensive end-to-end documentation
...
This commit introduces extensive documentation across the entire nanochat codebase. The goal is to make the project more accessible, educational, and easier for new contributors to understand.
Key additions include:
- A new "Codebase Overview and Data Flow" section in the main README.md, providing a high-level guide to the project structure and training pipeline.
- Detailed, educational docstrings and inline comments in all Python modules within the `nanochat/`, `scripts/`, and `tasks/` directories.
- Explanations of the rationale and implementation details for key components, including Python equivalents for non-Python code where applicable.
- A new `README.md` in the `rustbpe/` directory explaining the BPE algorithm and the decision to use Rust.
- Comprehensive comments in shell scripts and development scripts in the `dev/` directory, clarifying their purpose and usage.

add the SpellingBee task so that nanochat can count r in strawberry etc. along the way we had to add a bunch of new functionality, e.g. extend the calculator to support the count function of python. possibly the current TaskMixture uses way too many synthetic examples of SpellingBee because the eval gives us exactly 100% performance on spelling. We can tune this later to reclaim some wall clock time here I think

add personality to nanochat. breaks previous code on git pull and requires download of a new file from s3, but there is a helpful error message so hopefully its ok

upgrading all other files to be able to use cpu/mps as well as cuda. various minor other changes ,e.g. changing max_iterations to num_iterations in sft script for consistency in naming

add support for CPU and for MPS. I had to change a few cosmetic things. I also discovered I think a bit of a bug, where I was casting wte to bfloat16 in the wrong place (the model init) instead of in init_weights

fix subtle issue in token decoding in cases where multiple utf8 bytes need to be emitted into a single codepoint. exampels are emoji or foreign languages. basically we have to accumulate token sequences/text and only emit when we get full codepoints
