Pull request overview
This pull request adds a new public method as_raw_ptr() to the Mat, MatRef, and MatMut types in the quantization module. The method provides safe access to the underlying byte-level pointer (*const u8) for these matrix types. The "raw" naming convention clearly distinguishes this byte-pointer accessor from potential typed-pointer accessors, following established codebase patterns.
Changes:
- Added
as_raw_ptr()method toMat,MatRef, andMatMutthat returns the base byte pointer (*const u8) - Removed the previous test-only
as_ptr()method fromMatand replaced all its usages with the new publicas_raw_ptr() - Updated all test code to use the new method name

Add publicly exported
as_raw_ptrfor retrieving the base pointer ofMat,MatRef, andMatMut.The term "raw" is meant to denote that this is the byte pointer - not necessarily the pointer to the actual element type stored in these containers.
