model : avoid ggml_cont_3d for fused QKV weights (#15662)

* model : avoid ggml_cont_3d for fused QKV weights

ggml-ci

* kv-cache : make cpy_k and cpy_v implementation more readable

ggml-ci

* cont : add comments

ggml-ci

* cont : minor fix [no ci]

* cont : one more fix

* cont : clarity

ggml-ci

* kv-cache : require contiguous heads of k_cur and v_cur
