feat(domains): add ThermoElasticKernel for coupled u–T assembly

Provide multi-field small-strain thermoelasticity with cross blocks between
displacement and temperature using shared geometry SoA caches.

- Dispatch `evaluate_entry` on `field_idx` pairs for `K_uu`, `K_TT`, `K_uT`, `K_Tu`.
- Coupling strength `β` toggles thermal-mechanical interaction; documents additive strain split.

#=
Coupled thermo-elastic kernel the third concrete kernel in the codebase
and the first multi-field one. Its sole purpose right now is to prove
that the multi-field machinery introduced for the DOF-based assembler
* `local_dof_layout(E)` returns a `NTuple{N,DOFLayoutEntry}` whose
`field_idx` actually varies (1 for `u`, 2 for `T`),
* `_prepare_caches!` reads `elem.dof_indices` directly so it doesn't
care that the kernel has more than one field,
* `evaluate_entry(kernel, geom, qp, layout_i, layout_j, elem_id)` can dispatch
on `(field_idx(layout_i), field_idx(layout_j))` to compute the
correct stiffness block,
flows end-to-end through both `assemble!` and `apply_K!` (CPU + KA) with
zero allocations and matrix-free correctness.
Coupling form
=============
Standard small-strain thermo-elasticity. Strain ε is split additively
into mechanical and thermal parts, ε = ε_m + α·ΔT·I, and the residual
linearisation gives the symmetric coupled tangent
K_uu[i,α; j,β] = B_iα : : B_jβ (elasticity)
K_TT[i_T; j_T] = N_i · k · N_j (heat)
K_uT[i,α; j_T] = -β · (N_i/x_α) · N_j dV (mechanical-from-thermal)
K_Tu[i_T; j,β] = -β · N_i · (N_j/x_β) dV (= K_uT^T) (thermal-from-mechanical)
`β` is the kernel-level coupling coefficient (collects :αI; isotropic).
Setting `β = 0` recovers a pure block-diagonal `[K_uu 0; 0 K_TT]`
(useful as a smoke test).
Both gradient values `N` and basis values `N` are read from the SoA
geometry batches via `GeometryCache.N_data` / `GeometryCache.N_data`
(the latter is what was added in the D-next refactor).

ThermoElasticQPBuffer
Per-quadrature-point buffer for `ThermoElasticKernel`. Carries the full
elasticity tangent `C` *and* the conductivity tensor `k` together so a
single column view `view(qp_buffers, :, eid)` covers both blocks.
Both materials in the current implementation are stateless, so the
values are kernel-level constants in practice — but the buffer-per-IP
shape is preserved so a future stress-dependent or temperature-dependent
material drops in without changing the assembler.
Allocation-free: `isbitstype(ThermoElasticQPBuffer) == true`.
