Use cudaMemcpyBatchAsync for RMM copies

[bdice]

Description

Closes #2509.

Route RMM's C++ asynchronous copy paths through an internal helper that uses cudaMemcpyBatchAsync on CUDA 13+ non-default streams. It retains cudaMemcpyAsync for legacy default streams and older CUDART builds, and leaves zero-byte copies as no-ops.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added asynchronous CUDA memory-copy support with optimized handling for newer CUDA versions.
  • Improved asynchronous copying for device buffers and vectors while preserving stream-based behavior.
  • Added reliable detection of default, legacy, and per-thread CUDA streams.

• Bug Fixes

  • Ensured zero-length asynchronous copies complete safely without unnecessary CUDA operations.

• Tests

  • Added coverage for resizing buffers and reading/writing vector elements on non-default CUDA streams.
  • Added coverage for identifying CUDA stream types consistently.

Walkthrough

RMM adds CUDA stream detection and an asynchronous copy helper. CUDA 13+ non-default streams use cudaMemcpyBatchAsync; other supported configurations use cudaMemcpyAsync. Device buffer and vector operations now use the helper, with tests added.

Changes

CUDA asynchronous copy integration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Default stream detection cpp/include/rmm/detail/cuda_stream.hpp, cpp/src/cuda_stream_view.cpp, cpp/tests/cuda_stream_tests.cpp	Adds shared default-stream detection and tests for legacy, default, per-thread, and ordinary streams.
Copy helper contract and implementation cpp/include/rmm/detail/cuda_memcpy.hpp, cpp/src/cuda_memcpy.cpp, cpp/CMakeLists.txt	Adds rmm::detail::memcpy_async. It handles zero-byte copies, CUDA 13+ batched copies on non-default streams, and the fallback path.
Device copy path migration and validation cpp/include/rmm/device_uvector.hpp, cpp/src/device_buffer.cpp, cpp/tests/device_buffer_tests.cu, cpp/tests/device_uvector_tests.cpp	Routes asynchronous vector and buffer copies through memcpy_async. Tests cover non-default stream transfers and buffer resizing.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to 05dc3

This change routes eligible asynchronous copies through the CUDA batch-copy API, but the current implementation passes an incompatible pointer type on CUDA 13.1+ and can prevent affected builds from compiling; that issue should be fixed before merge.

classifications: cuda_stream_legacy must be default, cuda_stream_default must
depend on CUDA_API_PER_THREAD_DEFAULT_STREAM, and cuda_stream_per_thread must
never be default. Replace the current self-comparison expectations while
