Description
On some Intel GPU driver installations, the Level Zero loader DLL is named
ze_loader.dll (without the 64 suffix) in C:\Windows\System32\.
pyzes.py line 75 hardcodes:
libName + "64.dll" → "ze_loader64.dll" ❌ not found
Suggested fix: add ze_loader.dll (without 64 suffix) to the possible_paths
list as a fallback before the driver-store glob attempts.
Reproduced on:
- Windows 11
- Intel Arc B580
- Driver: 32.0.101.8725
- pyzes 0.1.2

Research direction
Open pyzes.py and inspect line 75, where the Level Zero loader name is formed. Add ze_loader.dll to the possible_paths fallback before the driver-store glob attempts, then verify loading on the reported Windows Intel GPU setup or with the relevant loader-path test if one exists.
