TopK Bitonic Claude Opus 4.8

"""Custom top-k kernel for B200 (memory-bound selection).

Algorithm (k >= 2):
  Each block owns one (row, chunk). Every thread scans its strided slice and
  keeps a sorted top-K of *its own* elements in a small local array. The union
  of all per-thread top-K sets is guaranteed to contain the global top-K, so a
  shared-memory tree-merge of the T sorted segments (log2(T) two-way merges,
  no atomics) yields the block top-K. Large single rows are split across blocks
  and folded by a second pass of the same primitive.

  k == 1: dedicated block argmax (shuffle reduction).

CUDA-graph capture removes launch overhead for the repeated-input (benchmark)
case; correctness falls back to eager when the input pointer changes.
