[v2] Wire paged_attention_v2_pytorch into vllm — enable V2 for long sequences

THE SINGLE HIGHEST-IMPACT CODE CHANGE in this project.

Before: paged_attn.py had use_v1=True hardcoded, and _custom_ops.py V2 was
NotImplementedError. ALL decode attention (83% of competition weight) went
through V1 (ixformer single-CTA), even for 100K token sequences where one
CTA must iterate over ~195 KV block partitions sequentially.

After: V2 is wired to paged_attention_v2_pytorch.py for max_seq_len > 8192.
V1 still handles short sequences where single-CTA is faster.

Architecture follows CCCL's two-pass dispatch (dispatch_reduce.cuh):
  Pass 1 (DeviceReduceKernel): N CTAs each reduce their tile partition
    → Mapped to: per-partition QK^T + softmax + V accumulation
  Pass 2 (DeviceReduceSingleTileKernel): 1 CTA reduces N partial results
    → Mapped to: cross-partition log-sum-exp rescaling (summary_statistics binary_op)

For 100K tokens, PARTITION_SIZE=512:
  V1: 1 CTA iterates 195 partitions sequentially
  V2: 195 partitions computed in parallel, then 1 reduction pass
  On 16 SMs: ceil(195/16) = 13 waves for Phase 1, then 1 CTA for Phase 2

Risk: PyTorch V2 has Python-level overhead vs ixformer's C++ V1.
Mitigation: V2 only activates for seq_len > 8192 where the parallelism
benefit outweighs Python dispatch cost. For typical decode (seq_len < 8K),
V1 ixformer kernel is still used.
