Stack from ghstack (oldest at bottom):

Ports the attention algorithm from onnxruntime's gqa_attention_base.h
to enable direct performance comparison against ET's flash attention
and the existing standard SDPA benchmark.

Key differences from standard SDPA: scale baked into GEMM alpha
(saves a scaling pass), scores buffer padded to max_seq_len columns
(matching ONNX's present_buffer_sequence_length), narrow softmax
over valid causal window only (zeros elsewhere, skips exp on masked
positions), and output in [B,S,Hq,D] with stride Hq*D matching
ONNX's interleaved output format.

Validation tests confirm ONNX GQA matches ET custom_sdpa_out within
float32 tolerance.
