Handle missing native exports when running tests

[KSemenenko]

Summary

• teach the stubbed native text generator to detect simple arithmetic expressions and respond with a deterministic answer instead of pseudo-random characters
• make the MLXSharp test native-library locator validate that required entry points exist before running native smoke tests, producing a skip message when an outdated shim is staged

Testing

• dotnet build (fails: command not found in CI container)
• cmake --build native/build/linux --config Release --target mlxsharp (fails: lapack.h header not present in container image)

Pull Request Overview

This PR enhances test robustness by improving the native library validation and adding deterministic behavior to the stubbed text generator. When native binaries are missing required exports (e.g., due to outdated shims), tests will skip gracefully with clear messages rather than failing cryptically.

Key Changes:

• Added export validation to detect missing native entry points before running tests
• Implemented arithmetic expression evaluation in the stubbed text generator for deterministic test output

Using epsilon() for division-by-zero check is incorrect. epsilon() represents the smallest representable difference between 1.0 and the next representable value (typically ~2.22e-16), not a threshold for zero. A value like 1e-10 could pass this check but still cause overflow. Use an explicit zero comparison or a more appropriate threshold like 1e-10.

Suggested change

	if (std::abs(rhs) < std::numeric_limits<double>::epsilon())
	if (std::abs(rhs) < 1e-10)

[nitpick] The output variable declaration should remain at line 497 where it was originally, or the else-block code should be refactored into a separate function. Moving the declaration here creates a wider scope than necessary and makes the control flow less clear, as output is only populated in one of two branches before being used at line 510.
