Add CUSOLVERRF.jl integration for GPU-accelerated sparse LU factorization

This PR adds support for NVIDIA's cusolverRF sparse LU factorization library through a package extension. CUSOLVERRF provides high-performance GPU-accelerated factorization for sparse matrices.

Key features:
- New `CUSOLVERRFFactorization` algorithm with configurable symbolic factorization (RF or KLU)
- Automatic CPU-to-GPU conversion for convenience
- Support for multiple right-hand sides
- Reusable symbolic factorization for matrices with same sparsity pattern
- Adjoint solve support
- Comprehensive test suite

The implementation follows LinearSolve.jl's extension pattern, similar to the existing CUDSS integration.

+`CUSOLVERRFFactorization(; symbolic = :RF, reuse_symbolic = true)`
+
+A GPU-accelerated sparse LU factorization using NVIDIA's cusolverRF library.
+This solver is specifically designed for sparse matrices on CUDA GPUs and 
+provides high-performance factorization and solve capabilities.
+
+## Keyword Arguments
+
+  - `symbolic`: The symbolic factorization method to use. Options are:
+    - `:RF` (default): Use cusolverRF's built-in symbolic analysis
+    - `:KLU`: Use KLU for symbolic analysis
+  - `reuse_symbolic`: Whether to reuse the symbolic factorization when the 
+    sparsity pattern doesn't change (default: `true`)
+
+!!! note
+    This solver requires CUSOLVERRF.jl to be loaded and only supports 
+    `Float64` element types with `Int32` indices.
