Fix Pylance type errors, add inductor compilation support

- Add cast() for registered buffer access (pe, cos, sin) in decoder.py,
positional_encoding.py, and attention.py to satisfy Pylance type checking
- Add cast() for compile_model return types in train.py
- Add type: ignore for rouge_score import (no type stubs available)
- Add safe_compile.py for torch.compile with inductor backend (default mode)
- Add nan_debugger.py for debugging NaN/Inf during training
- Update configs: batch_size=12 for medium/full, fix layer counts to match FLAN-T5-base
- Add benchmark mode to train.py for speed testing without saving checkpoints
- Suppress torch inductor warnings that interfere with tqdm progress bars

All checks pass: ruff, mypy, Pylance
