feat(backend): Add CPU backend with element assembly and CG solver

- ElasticityDataCPU struct wraps ElementAssemblyData
- initialize_backend() assembles global system from immutable Elements
- compute_element_stiffness() uses Tensors.jl (blocked by get_basis_derivatives)
- cg_solve() implements Conjugate Gradient iterative solver
- Supports Dirichlet boundary conditions from Physics API
- 228 lines: Traditional element assembly approach for CPU
