* feat(cann): add optional support for ACL Graph execution

This commit adds support for executing ggml computational graphs using
Huawei's ACL graph mode via the USE_CANN_GRAPH flag. The support can be
enabled at compile time using the CMake option:

    -DUSE_CANN_GRAPH=ON

By default, ACL graph execution is **disabled**, and the fallback path
uses node-by-node execution.

Key additions:
- CMake option  to toggle graph mode
- Graph capture and execution logic using
- Tensor property matching to determine whether graph update is required
- Safe fallback and logging if the environment variable LLAMA_SET_ROWS
  is unset or invalid

This prepares the backend for performance improvements in repetitive graph
execution scenarios on Ascend devices.

…vement on kernel-level and 10% perf increase for Gemma3n (llama/15132)

* Factor out `reduce_rows_f32` from common.cuh

This increases iteration cycle speed by not having to recompile
every kernel all the time

* Hide memory-latency by loop unrolling in reduce_rows_f32

* Further optimizations to `reduce_rows_f32`

1. Increase threadblock size to better hide latency of memory requests.
   As a consequence of bigger threadblocks, do 2-step summation, using
   shared memory to communicate results between invocations
2. Use sum_temp array to reduce waits on sum
3. Adjust num_unroll to reflext bigger threadblock
4. Improve default block_dims, increase support for more block_dims

* Add perf tests for `reduce_rows_f32` kernel

* Add heuristic to toggle 128/512 threads based on sm count

Break even point was the minimum of the following multiples.

| GPU Model                     | Nrow SM Count Multiple |
| -----------                   | -----------            |
| RTX 4000 SFF ADA              | 2.0x                   |
| RTX 6000 ADA                  | 2.5x                   |
| RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q  | 3.04x                  |
| RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell	| 3.15x                  |

* Ensure perf gains also for small ncols and large nrows

Alternative to this, one could have also made the number of unrollings
template-able, but that would require compiling the kernel multiple
times, increasing binary size unnecessarily

* Modify perf and unit-tests

* Apply auto-formatting by clang

* Fix CI build failure

See https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/actions/runs/16798370266/job/47573716079?pr=15132#step:7:486
Building with VS generator worked though.

* Remove sm_count property from `ggml_backend_cuda_context`

Requested by @JohannesGaessler, and should fix remaining CI issues as a
side-effect

* Add CUB-based implementation for GGML_OP_MEAN

Currently this branch is only executed for nrows==1

* Add heuristics to execute CUB branch only when it brings perf

Heuristics were determined on the following HW:

* RTX 4000 SFF ADA
* RTX 6000 ADA
* RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q
* RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell

* Add unit-test for CUB-based mean

Tests should run with CUDA Graphs enabled per default on NVGPUs

* Rename `USE_CUB` to `GGML_CUDA_USE_CUB`

Suggested by @JohannesGaessler

* Unindent Preprocessor directives

See
ggml-org/llama.cpp#15132 (comment)
* update `rope_multi`:

1. add `ggml_rope_multi_inplace`;
1. use `GGML_MROPE_SECTIONS` instead of 4.

* Apply suggestions from code review

* examples/finetune -opt SGD (stochastic gradient descent) memory opt

add unit tested GGML_OPT_OPTIMIZER_SGD to ggml - avoids allocating
m, v tensors.

support finetune.cpp arg -opt SGD (or sgd). (default adamw as before)

llama 3.2-1b-F32 result: observed 11gb gpu ram (41 sec/epoch)
when using SGD instead of 19gb (55 sec/epoch) using adamw.
(wikipedia 100 lines finetune)

(
using the same GPU memory, adamw can only do before OOM 512
batch/context, reaching:
train: [███████▉] data=0000140/0000140 loss=0.02575±0.00099 acc=99.52±0.03% t=00:00:47 ETA=00:00:00
val:   [███████▉] data=0000008/0000008 loss=4.76565±0.28810 acc=41.46±0.77% t=00:00:00 ETA=00:00:00

SGD is superior, though it converges slower, with max before OOM 1728
batch/context (esp see the better validation perf):
train: [███████▉] data=0000039/0000039 loss=0.00371±0.00010 acc=99.96±0.01% t=00:00:41 ETA=00:00:00
val:   [███████▉] data=0000003/0000003 loss=5.11406±0.76034 acc=48.01±0.69% t=00:00:01 ETA=00:00:00
)

note: when finetuning long enough (or w/ enough -lr),
validation accuracy *eventually* drops ('catastrophic forgetting')

-lr-half (halflife) option useful for SGD to avoid oscillation or
super slow underdamped learning (makes setting -lr more forgiving).
terminal -lr for now is set by lr-halvings i.e. if you want at most
1/8 the inital -lr you set -lr-halvings 3.

note: objective loss not directly comparable between adamw, sgd? -
check perplexity or accuracy or consider relative improvements
for convergence

new finetune args -wd 1e-9 to enable weight decay in sgd or adamw,
and max -epochs N (default 2 as before)

cache (1 - wd*alpha) in 'adamw' opt struct -
no noticeable perf benefit, disabled (still done
for new SGD though)

since opt. memory is pre-allocated, the ggml_opt_get_optimizer_params
would probably be able to change between SGD and AdamW with each epoch
but would need to use adamw for the first (unconfirmed - no cmdline arg
to set such a policy yet)

test-opt checks adamw as before and now sgd (except for a few disabled
tests for sgd only; probably just needs logging values and adding
alternate reference values);  tolerance on the 'regression'
test is broader for sgd (so we don't need many more epochs)

* Vulkan: Implement GGML_OP_OPT_STEP_SGD

* tests: Fix OPT_STEP_SGD test-backend-ops

* SGD op param store weight-decay and not 1-alpha*wd

* minor + cosmetic changes

* fix vulkan sgd

* try CI fix
