v0.3.1

Prebuilt kickmix wheels from this repository's vendored upstream commit plus the
patch series in patches/series (see CHANGES.md and NOTICE; AI-assisted code).
Install with pip install <wheel> and pip install numpy scipy for the competition
verifiers. Results are identical to upstream kickmix (checked in CI); the patches
reduce memory (streamed reaction_depth) and time (operation counting, CX runs,
packed shot I/O, phase readout). Apple Silicon and Linux aarch64 wheels include the
NEON word types; x86-64 wheels use the upstream SSE/AVX or portable paths. Windows
wheels are tested only by the smoke test. SHA256SUMS lists every file.

What's Changed

• CI: skip docs-only changes, cancel superseded runs, fewer macOS jobs on PRs, ccache by @manwithacat in #19
• Link to kickmix-engine from the README and the site by @manwithacat in #20
• Kaggle quickstart notebook and kickmix_tools 0.3.0 (engine support) by @manwithacat in #21
• Release v0.3.1: version bump by @manwithacat in #22
