[ENGINE] attention.py: CCCL dispatch_reduce.cuh single-tile decision for V1/V2

Replace arbitrary key_cache.dim()==4 condition with CCCL-derived decision:
  V1 (InvokeSingleTile) when max_context_len fits in 1 partition
  V2 (InvokePasses) when cross-partition merge is required

Source: dispatch_reduce.cuh Invoke():
  if (num_items <= threads_per_block * items_per_thread): InvokeSingleTile
  else: InvokePasses

kernel_reduce.cuh teaches:
  SingleTile: one CTA, ConsumeRange(0,N), no temp buffer
  MultiTile+Stable: GridEvenShare partitions → Phase 2 merge
  MultiTile+Atomic: fetch_add (BI-V100: 16 SM → negligible contention)

V1 saves ~3-5μs per decode step for short sequences by avoiding
tmp_output allocation + merge kernel launch overhead.
