We don't get valid UUIDs for AMD GPUs on Windows, so the best option
is to use the ordinal IDs. This brings us in line with what we currently
do on the Ollama server - the only exception is AMD GPUs on Linux, which
falls back to using ordinal IDs. The GGML implementation has no fallback
but it doesn't appear to occur for any of the GPUs that we support.

It's also possible that there are collisions between ordinal IDs for
different libraries - however the only places where we use them are
AMD on Windows and Metal on Mac, which can never occur on the same
system.

This reverts commit aaa78180.

This enables matching up devices and information reported by the backend
with system management libraries such as nvml to get accurate free
memory reporting.

FromFloatSlice and FromIntSlice return an error if the shape doesn't
match the passed data or if memory can't be allocated. Since these
are inputs, the memory being allocated is system memory rather than VRAM.

In many cases, the caller can't really handle the error and panics.

Empty and Zeros directly panic if they can't allocate memory.

This makes things consistent by panicing for the first two cases,
removing a fair amount of error handling code. This is also consistent
with how Go typically handles these situations.

This provides granular information about the backend memory allocations
required by the runner:
 - Per backend
 - Per layer
 - Weights, cache and graph
 - Allocation status

This can be used for debugging and validating memory estimates.

Currently, when the backend is created, the tensors are loaded at the
same time, which is a slow operation. This separates them to be two
steps:
 - Create backend, including enumerating tensors and memory allocation
 - Loading tensor data

This allows more flexibility in managing model loading.

ml.Dump will preserve default values if not specified

Currently, the KV cache and graph are lazily allocated as needed.
The cache is fully allocated on first use of the corresponding
layer whereas the graph grows with the size of the context.

This can be an issue if another application allocates more VRAM
after we do our calculations - Ollama will crash in the middle of
inference. If we instead allocate the maximum needed memory at
startup of the runner, we will either succeed or fail at that point
rather than at some surprising time in the future.

Currently, this only generates a worst case batch for text, which
means that vision models may get a partial allocation and continue
to lazily allocate the rest.

Mistral is a popular research lab making open source models. This updates
the forward pass of llama architecture models to support both llama models
and mistral models by accounting for additional metadata present in mistral
models, and finding the correct dimensions for the output projection.

Model implementations should use Input for all of their tensors
supplied to the model. This includes tensors that relate to the
outputs, which is confusing since there is also an Output funciton.

Since Output is only used internally in GGML and not used by any
model implementations, we can remove it from the interface to
reduce confusion.

This enables the runner to report progress back to the Ollama server,
both for showing status to the user and also to prevent the server
from killing the runner if it thinks things have stalled.

Most of the infrastructure was already there, this extends it to
be available to the backends.

this produces a nicer output since both positive and negative values
produces the same width

Similar to the llama engine, quantizing the KV cache requires
flash attention to be enabled through the Ollama server.

some tensors should be created on specific backends to reduce number of
copies and improve performance

each cache layer creates and maintains its own context instead of using
a large context for all layers

- output backend system info when initializing the backend. this ensures
  this information is always present without needing to be called
  explicitly
- convert to structured logging
- enumerate devices rather than backends since devices are ordered
- track device indices grouped by device name

The GGML flash attention kernel has specific requirements for
padding and permutation. This adds support to the KV cache
for conforming to these requirements so that flash attention
can be enabled.

Flash attention can be used in the same situations as the llama
engine and is enabled by the user in the same way.

In cases where we allocate a tensor and then fully overwrite it with
copied data, it is wasteful to first zero out the memory.

Prior to performing attention, we need to permute query, key
and value. Currently we call Contiguous after each of these
permutations, which is correct but expensive. Avoiding the
3 calls to Contiguous increases performance by over 20%.

The permutations of query and key do not violate the continuity
rules for mulmat and the Contiguous call can be simply removed.

Value requires a different permutation and does require Contiguous.
However, we can use the copy into the cache as a way to perform this
without further overhead.

To support this and avoid unexpected tensor shapes that are seen by
models, we need tighter integration between attention, cache
and backend. Future optimization will also likely need this structure
 - for example, flash attention has special padding requirements in
the cache and other backends may have their own needs.

This further contains the operations that go into attention so that
these and other optimizations can be handled transparently. Models
that have special requirements for attention can still implement
their own version of it.

update Context.Forward to accept multiple tensors to match
Context.Compute signature

update Context.Forward to return Context such that it can be chained
with Context.Compute

There are two benefits to doing this:
 - Provide a library function that models can use, reducing code for
   each model implementation
 - Enables a single place to drop in optimized implementations of
   attention based on the backend or other factors. One is provided for
   GGML.

On CUDA this improves token generation rate by about 3%. It does not
have a significant effect on Metal.

Currently the following parameters are in the runner but not used:
 - numGPULayers
 - mainGPU
 - threads
 - tensorSplit

This passes them through to the backend, which is where they would
actually get used. However, the GGML backend does not yet do anything
with them.
