DKM Layer: Differentiable K-Means Clustering Layer
Implements the core algorithm from Section 3.2 and 3.3 of the paper:
1. Compute distance matrix D between weights W and centroids C
2. Apply softmax with temperature τ to get attention matrix A
3. Update centroids: c_j = Σ_i(a_ij * w_i) / Σ_i(a_ij)
4. Iterate until convergence or max iterations
5. Compute compressed weights: W_tilde = A @ C
Supports both 1D and multi-dimensional clustering (Section 3.3).
