cuda : add batched cuBLAS GEMM for faster attention (#3749)

* cmake : add helper for faster CUDA builds

* batched : add NGL arg

* ggml : skip nops in compute_forward

* cuda : minor indentation

* cuda : batched cuBLAS GEMMs for src0 F16 and src1 F32 (attention ops)

* Apply suggestions from code review

These changes plus:

```c++
#define cublasGemmBatchedEx hipblasGemmBatchedEx
```

are needed to compile with ROCM. I haven't done performance testing, but it seems to work.

I couldn't figure out how to propose a change for lines outside what the pull changed, also this is the first time trying to create a multi-part review so please forgive me if I mess something up.

* cuda : add ROCm / hipBLAS cublasGemmBatchedEx define

* cuda : add cublasGemmStridedBatchedEx for non-broadcasted cases

* cuda : reduce mallocs in cublasGemmBatchedEx branch

* cuda : add TODO for calling cublas from kernel + using mem pool
