model: Add MiniMax-M3 (MSA: MiniMax Sparse Attention) support (#24908)

* Add preliminary MiniMax-M3 support

Text-only port that re-uses existing components: MiniMax-M2 style GQA with
per-head QK-norm and partial rotary, DeepSeek-V3 style leading-dense and
routed/shared experts, and swigluoai activation. Sparse attention is not
yet supported (dense fallback); vision tower and MTP heads are dropped.

* MiniMax-M3 vision tower (mmproj + clip graph)

* Delete m3_vision_ref.py

* Update clip.cpp

* MSA

* Update constants.py

* Update minimax.py

* Cache creation. Working withotu flash attention

* Added flash attention for sparse layers

* Decomposed slow cpu OP into GPU + CPU ops. Massive speedup over long ctx

* Rewrote indexer op to be cuda native. Modified flash attention to match per group block picking

* Implement sparse attention calc out of stock ops.

* Fix a cache allocation and cont issue

* Fixed -fa auto crash, flagged debug spots

* Delete vocab.json

* Delete model.safetensors.index.json

* Delete generation_config.json

* Delete Minimax directory

* Handled multi stream case to fall back on Dense Attention

* Development scaffolding cleanup. No functional change to the decode or
4-way paths. Full debug harness remains at <8136a9c68ed7a5eb009aa67bba3fda8062f4648f> for reproducing the
selection-parity validation.

* Remove redundant comment from minimax-m3.cpp

* Changed 3 Gelu Ops for vision into Gelu_erf ops

* Assert that n_kv is multiple of 128

* Rename MSA index tensors to indexer convention

Note: All GGUFs generated before this change will need to be regenerated.

* Fix incorrect Assert

* Review driven changes (#3)

* Remove comment from conversion minimax.py

* remove multimodal code upon maintainer request. Will be made as a separate PR

* Whitespace clean in tensor_mapping.py

* Log cache size on launch, block ctx shift, support prompt caching

Log indexer cache size on launch

Disallow ctx shift

Support prompt caching

* Update minimax-m3.cpp

* Optimize implementation, add multi stream support. 

Fully rewrote minimax-m3.cpp for speed and buffer size gains:

Unified the 4-way + decode, 1 FA call per layer instead of 4, with the groups mapped onto ne[3]

Custom CPU op now emits block-level mask, expanded on GPU, which causes CPU to GPU transfer to shrinks at prefill

Decode: ~25 nodes/layer vs ~50, no per-group concats/conts

Unified selection semantics, so both regimes rank bs + local bias (position-anchored local force), which means prefill/decode can no longer disagree on selection

can_reuse on the MSA bias input. Graph reuse at decode restored (was rebuilding the full graph every token)

In-place mask adds, shrinking compute buffer ~6.8 to ~4.2 GiB at ub2048/62k

Multi-stream: MSA now runs with -np N when kv_unified=false. Decode stays batched across streams (still 1 FA call), prefill loops per stream. dense fallback only for --kv-unified + multi-seq

Measured effect on expert offload bound setup: decode 6.2(4WAY)–7.15(MSA_decode) -> 7.7~7.8 t/s, flat from 5k to 60k+. prefill around 10% faster. buffer about 20% smaller, multi-user support.

* set default cache type to F32

* Fix potential DSA double indexer cache  allocation bug, only allocate in-cache k_idx for archs that opt in

* remove F16 downcasts in MSA attention, force F32 indexer score accum

* Add Minimax eos to llama vocab

* Guard edge case where idx cache can become stale after a tail trim

* Update llama-kv-cache.h

* Update llama-kv-cache.cpp

* Update llama-kv-cache.cpp

* Update llama-kv-cache.h

* Update llama-kv-cache.cpp

* Review driven changes

* style fix

* indexer hparams are required

* fix tests

* fix lint
