[CK_TILE][FMHA] Support gfx11

## Motivation

Add support of gfx11 architectures (RDNA3) to FMHA.

## Technical Details

Distributions (matrix elements to lane registers mapping) of gfx11 WMMA
are completely different from distributions of gfx9 MFMA and gfx12 WMMA.
There are two cases in FMHA where this difference matters:
* usage of results (matrix C) of one GEMM as input (matrix A) of another
GEMM.
* random number generation for dropout (implementation for gfx9 MFMA,
gfx12 WMMA and host validation produce the same results).

Both cases are solved by a special remapping implemented using
`__builtin_amdgcn_permlanex16` and `__builtin_amdgcn_perm`.

Additional changes:
* FMHA tests are now build and run only for those types for which
instances exist (gfx11 supports only fp16 and bf16).
* Two fixes for uninitialized values (`mask.sink` and
`do_fp8_static_quant`): they may contain garbage resulting in incorrect
dispatching logic, sometimes tests report that there are no instance
available for current parameters.
* Small fix to remove expcnt(0) from s_waitcnt instruction on gfx11 when
they are not requested (i.e. every time), likely has no effect on
performance but makes disassembly a bit clearer.

## Test Plan

```
ninja test_ck_tile_fmha

bin/test_ck_tile_fmha_fwd_fp16
bin/test_ck_tile_fmha_fwd_bf16
bin/test_ck_tile_fmha_bwd_fp16
bin/test_ck_tile_fmha_bwd_bf16
```

## Test Result

All tests must pass (some tests may be skipped).

CK Tile Example Suite

This directory contains a comprehensive suite of examples demonstrating the CK Tile programming model for high-performance GPU kernels. Each example illustrates a key deep learning or HPC operation, implemented using tile-based parallelism, modular pipelines, and data movement policy.


What is CK Tile?

CK Tile is a composable GPU programming API that expresses kernels as a composition of "tiles"—rectangular blocks of computation and data movement. The pipeline & policy orchestrates data movement (global <-> LDS <-> registers), computation, and synchronization, enabling high efficiency and flexibility.
