Add Enzyme compatibility extension to fix EnzymeAdjoint gradient issues
Fixes issue #319 where using EnzymeAdjoint with SciMLOperators returns NaN gradients instead of correct values. The root cause was that Enzyme tried to differentiate through Function-typed fields (update functions) stored in operator structures. These closures capture mutable state and should not be differentiated. Solution: - Created ext/SciMLOperatorsEnzymeExt.jl with Enzyme custom rules - Marked Function types as inactive for Enzyme differentiation - Moved Enzyme to weakdeps with proper extension registration - Added SparseArrays to weakdeps to fix circular dependency warnings Gradients now flow through the mathematical operations (mul!, *, +) which Enzyme handles natively, while operator structures orchestrate these operations without being differentiated themselves. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
