[ENGINE] paged_attn V2: CCCL agent_merge_sort union TempStorage cache

Browse Source 
Applied agent_merge_sort.cuh union _TempStorage pattern:
cache V2 temporary tensors (tmp_output, exp_sums, max_logits)
across decode steps instead of re-allocating each step.

agent_merge_sort uses union to share one SMEM block across
load_keys/load_items/store_keys/block_merge (serial ops).
Our equivalent: module-level dict caches V2 tensors by shape key.

For max_num_seqs=1 + 100K context:
  tmp_output: [1, 24, 200, 256] × 2B = 2.4 MB saved per step
  exp_sums + max_logits: 38 KB saved per step
  At ~200 steps/sec: ~480 MB/s saved CUDA malloc bandwidth.

Also from weld_vertices.cu: confirmed slot_mapping int32 cast
is safe (max 8M slots << int32_max=2.1B).
