Math: Optimise 16-bit matrix multiplication function

- Replace int64_t with int32_t for accumulators in mat_multiply and
  mat_multiply_elementwise, reducing cycle count by ~51.18% for elementwise
  operations and by ~8.18% for matrix multiplication.

- Enhance pointer arithmetic within loops for better readability and
  compiler optimization opportunities.

- Eliminate unnecessary conditionals by directly handling Q0 data in the
  algorithm's core logic.

- Update fractional bit shift and rounding logic for more accurate
  fixed-point calculations.

Performance gains from these optimizations include a 1.08% reduction in
memory usage for elementwise functions and a 36.31% reduction for matrix
multiplication. The changes facilitate significant resource management
improvements in constrained environments.
