demo: Add nodal assembly GPU implementation

GPU port of nodal assembly strategy with CUDA kernels demonstrating
atomic-free assembly on GPU using node-parallel approach.

GPU kernel design:
- One thread per node (not per element)
- Each thread gathers from touching elements
- No atomic operations (node ownership)
- Coalesced memory access via node ordering

Kernel structure:
- Thread ID maps to node ID
- Loop over elements touching this node
- Loop over element nodes for block contributions
- Compute 3×3 stiffness blocks with Tensors.jl
- Accumulate locally, write once to global

Data layout:
- node_to_elements: CSR-like structure on GPU
- Element data: Array of Structs (immutable elements)
- Node displacement: Flat vector (3*n_nodes)
- Result: Flat vector (3*n_nodes)

Performance characteristics:
- Memory bandwidth bound (not compute bound)
- Benefits from coalescing (sequential node access)
- Scalable to multi-GPU (domain decomposition)
- No synchronization within kernel

Comparison to element assembly:
- Element: N_elem threads, atomic scatter
- Nodal: N_nodes threads, no atomics

Nodal Assembly GPU Implementation
This is the GPU port of demos/nodal_assembly_cpu.jl using CUDA.jl.
TWO-PHASE APPROACH:
1. compute_gp_data_kernel!() - Compute integration point stresses and material states
2. nodal_assembly_kernel!() - Assemble residual at nodes (matrix-free, no atomics!)
Uses Tensors.jl throughout on GPU (CuArray{SymmetricTensor} works!)
