[Torch] Decompose logcumsumexp to a sequential logaddexp scan

Stabilize DecomposeAtenLogCumsumExpOp exactly via the recurrence
  out[0] = x[0];  out[j] = logaddexp(out[j-1], x[j]),
materialized as an explicit torch.prim.Loop over the reduction dim
(slice / aten.logaddexp / slice_scatter). Prefix-local normalization is
numerically exact for all inputs -- no +inf overflow and none of the
global-max shift's rare -inf underflow. The per-step aten.logaddexp is
lowered by the stabilized DecomposeAtenLogAddExpOp in the same pass.

Backend-agnostic (prim.Loop -> scf) but heavier IR than the fused
log(cumsum(exp(x))) form.
