This kernel does the following:
1. softmax over the logits per token [n_experts, n_tokens]
2. argmax reduce over the top-k (n_experts_used) logits
3. write weights + ids to global memory
It is intended as fusion of softmax->top-k->get_rows pipeline for MoE models

* Review: Use better coalescing pattern, use WARP_SIZE, store logits into registers before

Instead of hardcoding 0.0.0
If the 0.9.2-dev version is supposed to mean "less than" 0.9.2 instead of equal,
then the .pc version format would need to be changed to 0.9.2dev, since pkgconf

scripts : refactor release script into prepare and finalize stages (#1352)
This commit splits the release process into two distinct stages:
* prepare_release: This stage handles all updating the version and
creating a new branch with the version change. This should then be
use to open a PR for review. Once the PR has been merged the
finalize_release stage can be run.
* finalize_release: This stage must be run on master and master must
have the version bump commit (this is checked for). This stage
handles tagging, and also creates a new branch for the update of the
new development version. The tag should then be pushed to the remote
which will trigger the release process on GitHub. The branch should be
used to open a new PR for the development version update.

scripts : fix next dev version calculation [no ci] (#1351)
This commit updates the release script to correctly calculate the next
development version after a release.
The motivation for this is that the script currently increments the new
version for the next development cycle but the version is already set to
the updated version so this should not increment again.
Use RPC_DEBUG environment variable to enable debug messages.
Add helper macro LOG_DBG() which does an early
check of the env var before calling GGML_LOG_DEBUG().
Make sure we log a debug message for every server function.
ggml : split graph allocations according to backend max buffer size (llama/15815)
* ggml : make gallocr respect the backend's max buffer size

* vulkan: report the actual max allocation size in buffer type interface
* fix missing newline, apple-clang warning
* track size of individual chunks in ggml_dyn_tallocr and raise max chunks.
revert to use suballocation_block_size as max chunk size for vulkan.
* track (chunk, offset) pairs instead of "global" offsets through gallocr.
* simpler, don't need loops to map between local/global offsets
* touches more code
* fix dyn_tallocr_max_size and initialization
* fix memory leak when buffers are reused due to same buffer type appearing multiple times
* make vbuffer allocation follow the same logic as backend_buffer did before
* continue to use leftover unallocated space of previous chunks after a new one has been created
* treat free blocks of each chunk as separate list
* they're still allocated together, but start/end of each chunk is tracked, and allocate/free iterate over sub-ranges
* exhaust freed blocks of all chunks before considering their last blocks with unallocated space
* start with 0 chunks/blocks and create chunks as needed
* allow the last chunk to grow beyond max size
* refactor: move adding new free block and new chunk into separate functions
* allocate chunks individually with a separate free-blocks list for each one
* needs a bit more memory/allocations/indirections, but code is simpler
cmake : fix static linking for OpenMP on Unix-like systems (llama/16031)
When compiling with GGML_STATIC=ON, the build process would produce a
binary that was still dynamically linked to OpenMP. This defeats the
purpose of a static build:
This commit resolves the issue by modifying `CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES`
to prioritize `.a` files, forcing CMake to link the static version of
the library.

ggml : fix padding in timestep embedding kernels (llama/15932)

This commit updates the ggml_timestep_embedding function to no longer
add an extra dimension when the specified dimension is odd.
The motivation for this change is that this introduces an unnecessary
dimension when the dimension is odd, which caused an issue in the
kernels which were not expecting this extra dimension and it resulted in
uninitialized memory for the second to last dimension.

This commit adds a check for GGML_MACHINE_SUPPORTS_i8mm when enabling
MATMUL_INT8 features, ensuring that i8mm intrinsics are only used when
the target hardware actually supports them.
The motivation for this is to fix ggml CI build failures where the

adding the +noi8mm flag, but MATMUL_INT8 preprocessor definitions are
still enabled, causing the compiler to attempt to use vmmlaq_s32
intrinsics without i8mm support.

ggml-cpu : fix padding in ggml_timestep_embedding (llama/15917)
This commit fixes the zero padding for odd dimensions in
ggml_compute_forward_timestep_embedding_f32.
The motivation for this is that currently if an odd dimension is used,
the padding check incorrectly uses the dimension value for indexing.
For example, with dim=15:
Elements 0-6 are set to cosine values
Elements 7-13 are set to sine values
Element 14 is left uninitialized (contains garbage)
Element 15 is correctly set to zero
This fix changes embed_data[dim] to embed_data[2 * half] so that
element 14 (the first unused element) is properly set to zero as well
as the last element.
