Complete BLIS integration with LAPACK reference implementation

- Add working BLIS+LAPACK_jll extension for LinearSolve.jl
- Fix do_factorization method definition in extension
- Implement proper library forwarding through libblastrampoline
- Add comprehensive tests for BLISLUFactorization
- All basic Linear algebra operations working correctly

This completes the work started in PR #431 and #498, providing a
working BLIS BLAS implementation with reference LAPACK backend.
