Add ONNX sentence-transformer semantic codec for ultra-low latency 6G transmission

[Copilot]

Implements the ONNX-based AI semantic encode/decode pipeline requested for 6G semantic communications, with an experimental setup measuring compression ratio and semantic similarity preservation vs the existing term-frequency codec.

6g-ai: OnnxModel — simulated sentence-transformer (AiModel)

• 128-dim word-hash feature input → 32-dim L2-normalised embedding via tanh(W·x + b)
• Deterministic Xavier weights from model-id FNV-1a hash — no libonnxruntime needed in CI
• cosine_similarity() utility exported for downstream use
• OnnxModelValidation implements Validate (dimension, L2 norm, determinism, self cosine-sim)

let model = OnnxModel::new("sentence_transformer_v1");
let req = InferenceRequest { model_id: model.id().to_string(), inputs: features };
let embedding = model.predict(&req)?.outputs; // 32-dim f32, L2-normalised

Swap-in path for a real ONNX file (all-MiniLM-L6-v2.onnx via ort::Session) documented in docs/6g-ai.md.

6g-semantic: OnnxSemanticCodec

• Encode: UTF-8 text → word-hash features → OnnxModel → i8 quantisation → 32 bytes
• 31.25× compression for 1 kB input vs 15.6× for TextSemanticCodec; 32 B fits in a single sub-THz OFDM REG (≤1 ms E2E latency target)
• Decode: dequantise → f32 embedding bytes for downstream task inference
• OnnxSemanticValidation: 6 checks including semantic similarity preservation

exp_008_onnx_semantic_codec

Measures both codecs across message sizes 64 B–4 kB:

Metric	TextSemanticCodec	OnnxSemanticCodec
Output size	64 B (fixed)	32 B (fixed)
Compression @ 1 kB	15.6×	31.25×
Related pair cos-sim	—	0.58 avg
Unrelated pair cos-sim	—	−0.20 avg
