MAX changelog updates:

- Fixed tensor slicing with negative integer indices (e.g. `hidden[:, -1]`)  
which previously raised a `RuntimeError` at compile time.
- Introduced `CPUMetrics` alongside the existing GPU diagnostics and open source  
it under from `max.diagnostics`.
- Added `distributed.scatter` op handler to the experimental eager  
interpreter, enabling multi-GPU eager execution of scatter collectives  
without falling back to compilation.
- Added `distributed_scatter` collective to `distributed_functional` for  
hardware-accelerated root-to-device tensor distribution.

Mojo changelog updates:

- [stdlib] Deprecate `String. __len__ ()` [Reapply]
- [stdlib] Add `IterableOwned` overloads for iterator adaptors
