Remove triton_util, superseded by native Triton APIs

[fulvius31]

Summary

• Remove triton_util/ package and all associated files
• Delete .github/workflows/build-triton-util.yml workflow
• Clean up triton_util references from Readme.md and pylint.yml

triton_util provided higher-level abstractions for loading/storing
(e.g. load_2d), debugging helpers (print_once, breakpoint_if),
and utilities (cdiv). These are now covered natively by Triton:

triton_util	Triton native
load_2d / store_2d	make_tensor_descriptor + load_tensor_descriptor (TMA)
print_once / print_if	device_print
breakpoint_once / breakpoint_if	device_assert + debug_barrier
cdiv	tl.cdiv
assert_tensors_gpu_ready	Built-in mask/boundary_check on tl.load/tl.store

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation

  • Removed triton_util documentation and README references from the project docs.

• Chores

  • Removed triton_util package configuration, packaging entrypoint, tests, and package initializer exports.
  • Removed related CI workflows (build and lint) and test-related CI triggers.
