Bases: MergedColumnParallelLinear

Merged projection with multiple replicated output shards.

Extends K3's _KimiGDNMergedColumnParallelLinear to support two replicated shards (f_a, g_a) instead of one. Pre-multiplies each replicated entry's output_size by tp_size so the per-rank shard divides back to the full size, and forces tp_rank=0 during weight loading for replicated shards.
