Hand-rolled `A = L · L^T` factorization plus forward/backward triangular
solves, used by the upcoming Bayesian Optimization implementation for
the GP posterior. Same f64 row-major Vec<Vec<f64>> interface as the
existing Jacobi eigen helper so we don't pull in nalgebra for one
algorithm.
Returns Err on non-positive-definite input (a small jitter is the
typical caller-side fix). Tested against the standard 2x2 case, the
3x3 known-result case, A·x = b round-trip, and the SPD-failure case.
