* [Example] Add a new example to support attention sink for MHA

- Introduced a new example script for multi-head attention (MHA) with sliding window attention and sink tokens.
- Added a reference attention function to validate the implementation against PyTorch.
- Included argument parsing for command-line execution of the example.

* [Example] Replace MHA sink forward example with updated implementation

- Removed the old example script for multi-head attention (MHA) with sliding window attention and sink tokens.
- Introduced a new example script that modifies the attention mechanism to enhance performance and maintainability.
- Updated argument parsing and reference functions to align with the new implementation.

* Enhance MHA sink example with sliding window support

- Added a `window_size` parameter to the `flashattn` function to enable sliding window attention.
- Implemented assertions to ensure `window_size` is compatible with `block_N`.
- Updated the main function to include a `tune` option for performance tuning.
- Introduced a new test file to validate both full attention and sliding window scenarios.
- Adjusted FLOPS calculation to account for the sliding window configuration.
