Scott Cutler 52af99d337 llama-bench: add --allreduce flag to select AllReduce provider
Adds --allreduce <auto|nccl|internal> to llama-bench (and via the shared
field pattern, consistent with other multi-value flags).  Useful for
isolating hangs or regressions in tensor-parallel mode: pass --allreduce nccl
to force NCCL and bypass the internal provider.

Also fixes ggml_cuda_select_allreduce_provider() to treat an empty
GGML_CUDA_ALLREDUCE env var the same as unset (avoids spurious warning when
llama-bench sets it to "" for the "auto" case).

xt gains ar_pipeline field
- Provider selection via GGML_CUDA_ALLREDUCE env var ("nccl" / "internal")
- INTERNAL provider initialises the pipeline at comm_init time
- Dispatch routes to ggml_cuda_ar_allreduce(); falls back to meta-backend
  CPU reduce for unsupported sizes or GPU counts (> 2)

Current scope: 2 GPUs, FP32, tensors <= 256 KB. Notes in NOTES-allreduce.md.
