Fix: Update custom layer example to use self.add_weight()
Problem:
The previous MyDense layer created weights with tf.Variable in init. These weights were not automatically registered, so layer.variables and layer.trainable_variables were empty. This breaks standard Keras functionality for training, saving, and inspection.
Solution:
Updated MyDense to use self.add_weight(), which properly registers the weights with the layer. Now they appear in .variables and are fully tracked by Keras.
