Performs a parallel associative scan (linear recurrence) over a 1D sequence.
Given coefficient a and input b at each timestep, computes:

This is the core parallelizable primitive underlying Mamba's selective scan and
other SSM architectures. Sequential in naive PyTorch but can be parallelized
via the associative scan algorithm in O(L log L) span.

The model computes a recurrence relation: h_t = a_t * h_{t-1} + b_t, starting with h_0 = b_0, using a parallel associative scan to speed it up for large sequences like 4096.
