Pull request: sycl: add REPEAT_BACK operation support

## Summary
Implements the **REPEAT_BACK** operator for the **SYCL** backend, enabling mirrored repetition of tensor data on SYCL devices.  
The implementation matches the behavior of the existing CPU version.

## Changes
- Added `repeat_back.cpp` with SYCL kernel implementation  
- Added dispatch in `ggml-sycl.cpp` under `GGML_OP_REPEAT_BACK`  
- Integrated into the SYCL compute pipeline  

## Implementation
- Supports tensors up to 4 dimensions  
- Performs reflection-based repetition using modular indexing  
- Parallelized with `parallel_for` using `range<3>`  
- Efficient indexing for mirrored boundaries  
- Zero-overhead path for non-repeated cases  

## Testing
- Verified results match the CPU implementation  
- Checked correctness on multi-dimensional tensors  
- Tested reflection accuracy on all tensor edges  

## Performance
- Optimized index computation (no redundant divisions)  
- Memory accesses follow contiguous layout  
- Minimal kernel footprint and register usage  

## Compatibility
- Supports `F32` tensors  
- Works with Level Zero and OpenCL backends  
- Follows existing SYCL backend design conventions
