* Merge Q and K into a single tensor
* Make V mul mat follow QK mul mat
so they can be fused, which gives a slightly bbetter TG performance.

* Introducing rope cache
When computing RoPE, the rotation angles in each layer
are exactly the same, and only depend on the token positions
(and other constant, model dependent parameters).
So, I wonder, why don't we compute the angles just once
and then reuse for the Q and K RoPE in each layer?
This commit does it as a POC on the CPU, and uses it in
the Qwen3-MoE compute graph.
* cuda: neox works
* WIP
* rope_cache: norm works
* Fused rope+rope
* Fused rope+rope (norm)
* Fused rms+rms+rope+rope (neox) - not working
* WIP
* Also qwen3
* Add command line arg to disable rope cache
* Disable RoPE cache if rope type is not neox or norm
* Add missing break after merge with main
* Fused fused_rms+fused_rms+rope+rope (with -mqkv)
* Fused fused_rms+fused_rms+rope+rope (without -mqkv)

* POC: merge Q, K, V into a single, contiguous tensor
Done just for Qwen3-MoE, where I see a 4% uplift in TG.
PP performance gain is sub-percent, if any.
Still, it seems it makes sense to do it in general given
the TG performance gain.
* WIP
* merge_qkv: it works for gpt-oss
...but we see a smaller TG gain (~1.5%)
* WIP
* Don't ignore the return value of create_tensors()
else, when q, k, v get merged and we are running on the CPU,
we get a crash because the backend is trying to use mmap,
but that no longer works.
* merge_qkv: bias can be required, optional, or mandatory
* merge_qkv: glm4.5moe
* merge_qkv: add command loine argument to enable
* merge_qkv: fix tensor dimensions
* merge_qkv: llama-4
* merge_qkv: qwen3 (dense)
* merge_qkv: simplify build_qwen3moe
* cohere2 - simplify graph building

* Better argsort (CPU)
* Attemt at grouped topk
* This seems to do the trick for grouped experts routing
* Cleanup
* Trying to merge, something is not right
* Working merged grouped top_k (CPU)
* Add command line option to enable grouped expert routing
* Add grouped expert routing option to llama-bench

* llama_model and llama_hparams
* llama_build_context
Surprisingly small reduction in llama.cpp compile time given
the reduction in LOCs (22k -> 14k)
* LLM_TN
llama.cpp compilation: 50 s -> 33 s
* llama_quantize
* arch names
* All graph building is now in llm-build-context.cpp
* hparams loading
llama.cpp is now just 9300 LOC, but still takes 32 seconds to compile.
* We are now at 6 seconds to build the src folder
* load -> create
We are not actually loading the tensors, but just creating them.
