nice, I agree that if right now people are using nvfp4 on webgpu they should probably be pointed towards using a k-quant instead, but still nice to have some acceleration if for some reason they insist on using them :) |

Overview
This PR adds NVFP4 support to ggml-webgpu. The following table shows the performance of CISCai/gemma-4-31B-it-NVFP4-turbo-GGUF on M2 and NVIDIA Tesla-V100.
M2:
Tesla-V100:
Since WebGPU doesn't seem to provide direct access to the GPU instructions of the host device, NVFP4 likely offers no performance advantage over k-quants on WebGPU backend.
The primary motivation is ecosystem coverage — NVFP4 GGUFs are increasingly available on huggingface, and this ensures ggml-webgpu can run them rather than falling back to CPU backend.
