ggml: backend-agnostic tensor parallelism (experimental) (#19378)

Browse Source 
* ggml: backend-agnostic tensor parallelism

* support for GPT-OSS, Qwen 3 MoE

* partial Vulkan fix

* add support for 4/8 GPUs

* unconditional peer access

* re-use buffers + ggml contexts

* fix output pattern

* NCCL support

* GGML: HIP: add RCCL support

* Remove shfl and AllReduce from backend interface

* move allocation workaround out of ggml-alloc.c

* 2d tensor set/get support

* Fix the seg fault without NCCL

* Apply suggestion from JohannesGaessler

* support for tensor dims % n_devs != 0

* fix view_offs scaling

* arbitrary num. of GPUs/tensor split

* fix compilation

* better granularity estimate

* Support device-specific host buffer types if all underlying backends expose the same type. This allows using pinned memory instead of pageable memory for CUDA.

Fix compilation errors.

* partial Qwen 3 Next support

* Fix qwen3 30b (#8)

* Fix crash with Qwen-30B-A3B Q4_0

Qwen-30B-A3B Q4_0 has an intermediate dimension of 768. Using a granularity of 256 forces an uneven split between GPUs, which is not supported by the current implementation.

* Decide block size based on tensor quantization type

* Fix crashes due to KV cache serialization (#9)

KV cache serialization requires non-zero offsets on the tensor. Add support in the meta backend to set/get a tensor with a non-zero offset.

* metal : fix build (#7)

* static memory allocations, fix usage count

* fix tensor granularity

* more even memory distribution

* use BF16 for allreduce

* rebase fixup

* better error message for unsupported architectures

* Fix device mismatch during scatter of allReduce. (#11)

There is a mismatch between the dst buffer device and the backend device, causing the use of sync copies

* Enable the previous allreduce implementation. It is better in both perf and stability (#12)

* delay AllReduce for Moe for less I/O

* build : clean-up compile warnings

* backend : move most of the meta backend API to ggml-backend-impl.h

* cont : hide unused public API in the implementation

* llama : use llama_device + remove ggml_backend_dev_is_meta()

* ggml-backend : remove unused alloc include

* minor : remove regex include

* ggml : introduce ggml-ext.h for staging new APIs

* rebase fixup

* fix tests

* llama : more robust logic for determining Meta devices (#16)

* llama : more robust logic for determining Meta devices

* cont : fix devs size check
