[CK Tile] Stream-K gtest Code Gen

## Motivation

Stream-K was using the tile engine infrastructure for smoke tests.
However, tile engine creates a different target per kernel instance,
which has resulted in scalability issues when used in the context of
unit tests. To avoid burdens on cmake configuration and build time, we
have opted to remove our Stream-K tile engine tests. Instead, we use
pure gtests with code gen to generate repetitive .cpp files.

**Note: This appears to change a lot of files because many files are
removed since they are now generated at build time.**

## Technical Details
We originally used Tile Engine to facilitate code gen for unit tests
since we found that pure gtests required the addition of many repetitive
.cpp files of the following form:
```cpp
#include "test_gemm_streamk_common_includes.hpp"

template <typename Tuple>
class TestCkTileStreamKBf8 : public TestCkTileStreamK<Tuple>
{
};

#define TEST_SUITE_NAME TestCkTileStreamKBf8

TYPED_TEST_SUITE(TestCkTileStreamKBf8, KernelTypesStreamKBf8);

#include "test_gemm_streamk_atomic_cases.inc"

#undef TEST_SUITE_NAME

```
Due to issues encountered with tile engine, we instead use pure gtests
to generate the repetitive .cpp files. The code generator parses
`KernelTypesStreamK*` type aliases from the types header using a
two-phase approach:
1. At **configure time**, CMake runs the Python script with
`--list_files` to extract the type alias names from the header
(test_gemm_streamk_types.hpp) and compute the list of .cpp file paths
that will be generated. This lets CMake know the exact set of source
files for each target.
2. At **build time**, `add_custom_command` runs the script again with
`--gen_files` to actually emit the .cpp files into the build directory,
triggered only when the types header or generator script changes.

With these changes, we've removed all Stream-K tile engine tests. There
are now 5 targets for Stream-K GEMM tests:
1. test_ck_tile_streamk_atomic_smoke: smoke tests for Atomic reduction
strategy (pipeline: compv3)
2. test_ck_tile_streamk_linear_smoke: smoke tests for Linear reduction
strategy (pipeline: compv3)
3. test_ck_tile_streamk_tree_smoke: smoke tests for Tree reduction
strategy (pipeline: compv3)
4. test_ck_tile_streamk_pipelines_smoke: smoke tests (smaller set) for
pipelines other than compv3
- Since Stream-K can be thought of as a wrapper around universal GEMM,
we don't need to extensively test each pipeline. So, we opt to run a few
tests for different pipelines. Currently, this just consists of the mem
pipeline, but compv4 is coming soon.
5. test_ck_tile_streamk_extended: extended tests

## Test Plan

I have tests the gtests locally on gfx90a, gfx942, and gfx950.

## Test Result

All local tests pass.

CK Tile Testing Guide

This document describes the test organization and available test targets for CK Tile operations.

Overview

CK Tile tests are organized with multiple levels of granularity to support different development workflows:

  1. Global test labels - Run tests across all operations
  2. Operation-specific umbrella targets - Run all tests for a specific operation
  3. Individual test executables - Run specific tests

Global Test Labels

These targets run tests across all CK operations (not just CK Tile):

ninja smoke

Run fast smoke tests (tests that complete within ~30 seconds on gfx90a).

ninja smoke

ninja regression

Run slower, more comprehensive regression tests.

ninja regression

ninja check

Run ALL available tests in the entire codebase.

ninja check

Operation-Specific Umbrella Targets

These targets allow you to run all tests for a specific CK Tile operation. This is useful when making changes to a particular operation and wanting to validate all related tests without running the entire test suite.

GEMM Operations

ck_tile_gemm_tests

Run all basic GEMM pipeline tests (memory, compute variants, persistent, etc.)

ninja ck_tile_gemm_tests

Test executables included:

  • test_ck_tile_gemm_pipeline_mem

  • test_ck_tile_gemm_pipeline_compv4
  • test_ck_tile_gemm_pipeline_persistent
  • test_ck_tile_gemm_pipeline_compv6
  • test_ck_tile_gemm_pipeline_comp_async (gfx95 only)
  • test_ck_tile_gemm_pipeline_*_wmma variants (gfx11/gfx12 only)
