Add BLISLUFactorization support and fix libdl_name compatibility

Add BLISLUFactorization to the benchmark suite with proper hardware
compatibility checking. BLIS is added as a weak dependency and only
included in benchmarks when available and working on the hardware.

Also fix libdl_name compatibility issue for newer Julia versions.

Changes:
- Add BLIS dependency to Project.toml as weak dependency
- Add BLISLUFactorization to algorithm detection with hardware test
- Add BLIS availability tracking in system info
- Fix libdl_name access with try-catch for Julia compatibility
- BLIS failures are treated as info, not errors (hardware-specific)

Fixes UndefVarError: libdl_name not defined in Base
Adds robust BLIS support with hardware compatibility testing
