Import ChainRules for broadcast(f, As...) for Array{<:IEEEFloat}

[Copilot]

Mooncake's default broadcast(f, As...) rules are generally fast, but can be slow when f is computationally lightweight. This PR imports ChainRules rules for broadcast operations on Array{<:IEEEFloat} to improve performance in these cases.

Implementation

Since broadcast(f, args...) = copy(broadcasted(f, args...)), this PR adds two @from_rrule declarations to src/rrules/performance_patches.jl:

1. @from_rrule DefaultCtx Tuple{typeof(copy),Base.Broadcast.Broadcasted} - imports ChainRules rule for copying broadcasted objects
2. @from_rrule DefaultCtx Tuple{typeof(Base.Broadcast.broadcasted),Function,Array{P}} where {P<:IEEEFloat} - imports ChainRules rules for creating broadcasted objects over IEEE floating point arrays

Performance Impact

This change ensures that broadcast operations like sin.(cos.(exp.(x))) now use ChainRules' optimized implementations instead of Mooncake's default derived rules when operating on IEEE floating point arrays. All component broadcast operations (broadcasted(exp, x), broadcasted(cos, y), broadcasted(sin, z)) are now recognized as primitives and will use the more efficient ChainRules implementations.

Testing

Added comprehensive test cases covering:

• copy(::Base.Broadcast.Broadcasted) for all IEEE float precisions (Float16, Float32, Float64)
• Base.Broadcast.broadcasted(f, array) for all IEEE float precisions
• Integration with existing performance patches

Verified that benchmark functions like _broadcast_sin_cos_exp(x) = sum(sin.(cos.(exp.(x)))) now use the imported ChainRules rules for all broadcast operations.

Fixes #737.

I really do not think that we should be doing something like this. The broadcasting machinery is very complicated, and it's much better intercepted at the level that Mooncake currently intercepts it.

I think you need to be clearer so that both Copilot and others can understand what you mean.

[willtebbutt]

I mean not writing rules for broadcast.

The implication of which is that I think this PR ought to be closed.
