[ENGINE] vllm/attention/ops/paged_attn.py: CCCL block_reduce_raking V1/V2 dispatch

FIXED BASE FILE (not root custom file):
  vllm/attention/ops/paged_attn.py — the actual vllm paged attention

Two changes from reading cub/block/specializations/block_reduce_raking.cuh:

1. V1/V2 dispatch restored (was hardcoded use_v1=True on line 119)
   CCCL block_reduce_raking has WARP_SYNCHRONOUS conditional fast path:
   when RAKING_THREADS == BLOCK_THREADS, skip SMEM and go to warp shuffle.
   This is CONDITIONAL — not hardcoded. Our equivalent:
   V1 (single-pass) is the WARP_SYNCHRONOUS fast path for short seqs.
   V2 (partitioned reduce) is the raking path for long seqs.
   For max_num_seqs=1: num_seqs*num_heads=24 < 512, so V2 triggers
   when max_seq_len > 8192.

2. V2 temp tensor caching (agent_merge_sort union _TempStorage pattern)
   Cache tmp_output/exp_sums/max_logits by shape key across decode steps.
   For max_num_seqs=1, shapes are stable → zero CUDA malloc after warmup.
