Description

Code: https://github.com/LuxDL/LuxLib.jl/blob/3ef59f2e4175dfbbd383ebfb607bea1c8fe60738/src/impl/forward_diff.jl#L1-L50

Tests: https://github.com/LuxDL/LuxLib.jl/blob/main/test/others/forwarddiff_tests.jl

The main reason I haven't been able to do it is because of how the tests are structured which forces you to copy the code for different backends

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current test structure in LuxLib.jl to understand how tests are organized for different backends. Then propose a refactor that separates backend specific tests so that the ForwardDiff rules can be moved to NNlib.jl without duplicating code. Look at NNlib.jl's test patterns for guidance.
