    Use runners for GPU discovery (#12090) · bc8909fb
    Daniel Hiltgen authored
    This revamps how we discover GPUs in the system by leveraging the Ollama
    runner.  This should eliminate inconsistency between our GPU discovery and the
    runners capabilities at runtime, particularly for cases where we try to filter
    out unsupported GPUs.  Now the runner does that implicitly based on the actual
    device list.  In some cases free VRAM reporting can be unreliable which can
    leaad to scheduling mistakes, so this also includes a patch to leverage more
    reliable VRAM reporting libraries if available.
    
    Automatic workarounds have been removed as only one GPU leveraged this, which
    is now documented. This GPU will soon fall off the support matrix with the next
    ROCm bump.
    
    Additional cleanup of the scheduler and discovery packages can be done in the
    future once we have switched on the new memory management code, and removed
    support for the llama runner.
