* 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

* 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.
