This PR adds optional GPU acceleration to the covariance matrix decomposition and rotation-to-quaternion conversion, providing significant performance improvements for CUDA users while maintaining backward compatibility.

Tested on RTX 4090 with ~700k gaussians per frame:
The bottleneck was
scipy.spatial.transform.Rotation.from_matrix()which requires CPU transfer and numpy conversion. The new GPU implementation stays entirely on device.Backward Compatibility
