Add 32-bit mixed precision solvers for OpenBLAS and RecursiveFactorization

Adds two new mixed precision LU factorization algorithms that perform factorization
in Float32 precision while maintaining Float64 interface for improved performance:

- OpenBLAS32MixedLUFactorization: Mixed precision solver using OpenBLAS
- RF32MixedLUFactorization: Mixed precision solver using RecursiveFactorization.jl

These solvers follow the same pattern as the existing MKL32MixedLUFactorization
and AppleAccelerate32MixedLUFactorization implementations, providing:
- ~2x speedup for memory-bandwidth limited problems
- Support for both real and complex matrices
- Automatic precision conversion and management
- Comprehensive test coverage

The RF32MixedLUFactorization also supports pivoting options for trading
stability vs performance.

+    OpenBLAS32MixedLUFactorization()
+
+A mixed precision LU factorization using OpenBLAS that performs factorization in Float32
+precision while maintaining Float64 interface. This can provide significant speedups
+for large matrices when reduced precision is acceptable.
+
+## Performance Notes
+- Converts Float64 matrices to Float32 for factorization
+- Uses optimized OpenBLAS routines for the factorization
+- Can be 2x faster than full precision for memory-bandwidth limited problems
+- May have reduced accuracy compared to full Float64 precision
+
+## Requirements
+This solver requires OpenBLAS to be available through OpenBLAS_jll.
+
+## Example
+```julia
+alg = OpenBLAS32MixedLUFactorization()
+sol = solve(prob, alg)
+```

+    RF32MixedLUFactorization{P, T}(; pivot = Val(true), thread = Val(true))
+
+A mixed precision LU factorization using RecursiveFactorization.jl that performs 
+factorization in Float32 precision while maintaining Float64 interface. This combines
+the speed benefits of RecursiveFactorization.jl with reduced precision computation
+for additional performance gains.
+
+## Type Parameters
+- `P`: Pivoting strategy as `Val{Bool}`. `Val{true}` enables partial pivoting for stability.
+- `T`: Threading strategy as `Val{Bool}`. `Val{true}` enables multi-threading for performance.
+
+## Constructor Arguments
+- `pivot = Val(true)`: Enable partial pivoting. Set to `Val{false}` to disable for speed 
+  at the cost of numerical stability.
+- `thread = Val(true)`: Enable multi-threading. Set to `Val{false}` for single-threaded 
+  execution.
+
+## Performance Notes
+- Converts Float64 matrices to Float32 for factorization
+- Leverages RecursiveFactorization.jl's optimized blocking strategies
+- Can provide significant speedups for small to medium matrices (< 500×500)
+- May have reduced accuracy compared to full Float64 precision
+
+## Requirements
+Using this solver requires that RecursiveFactorization.jl is loaded: `using RecursiveFactorization`
+
+## Example
+```julia
+using RecursiveFactorization
+# Fast mixed precision with pivoting
+alg1 = RF32MixedLUFactorization()
+# Fastest mixed precision (no pivoting), less stable
+alg2 = RF32MixedLUFactorization(pivot=Val(false))
