Use caller CUDA stream for D2H and H2D copies (#20498)

Summary:

CudaAllocator memory copies now support async copy on a caller-provided CUDA stream. When a caller stream is available (via `getCallerStream()`), `copy_host_to_device` and `copy_device_to_host` use `cudaMemcpyAsync` and synchronize the stream before returning — preserving the blocking API contract while allowing work to be issued on the caller's stream. When no caller stream is set, the synchronous `cudaMemcpy` path is used as before.

Additionally:
- Added null pointer and zero-byte validation — null `dst`/`src` return `Error::InvalidArgument` instead of aborting in `cudaMemcpy`, and zero-byte copies return `Error::Ok` early.
- Assert single-GPU case (index 0 or -1) until multi-GPU stream validation is added.
- Wired `//executorch/extension/cuda:caller_stream` dependency in TARGETS.
- Added `test_cuda_allocator` with coverage for sync/async paths and error handling.
