This commit adds support for performing sampling operations on the
backend (e.g. GPU) as part of the model computation graph.
The motivation for this feature is to enable sampling to be performed
directly on the backend as part of the computation graph being executed,
allowing for some or all of the sampling to be done on the backend.
For example, the backend sampler chain might select/sample a token
directly in which case only the sampled token needs to be transferred
from device memory to host memory.
It is also possible for the backend samplers to perform filtering of
the logits, or compute and filter the probability distribution, in
which case only the filtered logits or probabilites need to be
transferred back to system memory for further processing by CPU
samplers.
Currently the backend sampling works in a similar manner to how
pooling works, it is a function that is called by build_graph and the
sampler operations become part of the models computation graph.

ggml-ci
* args : fix scope of new argument
* examples/finetune -opt SGD (stochastic gradient descent) memory opt
add unit tested GGML_OPT_OPTIMIZER_SGD to ggml - avoids allocating
m, v tensors.
support finetune.cpp arg -opt SGD (or sgd). (default adamw as before)
llama 3.2-1b-F32 result: observed 11gb gpu ram (41 sec/epoch)
when using SGD instead of 19gb (55 sec/epoch) using adamw.
(wikipedia 100 lines finetune)
(
using the same GPU memory, adamw can only do before OOM 512
batch/context, reaching:
train: [███████▉] data=0000140/0000140 loss=0.02575±0.00099 acc=99.52±0.03% t=00:00:47 ETA=00:00:00
val: [███████▉] data=0000008/0000008 loss=4.76565±0.28810 acc=41.46±0.77% t=00:00:00 ETA=00:00:00
SGD is superior, though it converges slower, with max before OOM 1728
batch/context (esp see the better validation perf):
train: [███████▉] data=0000039/0000039 loss=0.00371±0.00010 acc=99.96±0.01% t=00:00:41 ETA=00:00:00
val: [███████▉] data=0000003/0000003 loss=5.11406±0.76034 acc=48.01±0.69% t=00:00:01 ETA=00:00:00
)
note: when finetuning long enough (or w/ enough -lr),
validation accuracy *eventually* drops ('catastrophic forgetting')
-lr-half (halflife) option useful for SGD to avoid oscillation or
super slow underdamped learning (makes setting -lr more forgiving).
terminal -lr for now is set by lr-halvings i.e. if you want at most
1/8 the inital -lr you set -lr-halvings 3.
note: objective loss not directly comparable between adamw, sgd? -
check perplexity or accuracy or consider relative improvements
for convergence
new finetune args -wd 1e-9 to enable weight decay in sgd or adamw,
and max -epochs N (default 2 as before)
cache (1 - wd*alpha) in 'adamw' opt struct -
no noticeable perf benefit, disabled (still done
for new SGD though)
since opt. memory is pre-allocated, the ggml_opt_get_optimizer_params
would probably be able to change between SGD and AdamW with each epoch
but would need to use adamw for the first (unconfirmed - no cmdline arg
to set such a policy yet)
test-opt checks adamw as before and now sgd (except for a few disabled
tests for sgd only; probably just needs logging values and adding
alternate reference values); tolerance on the 'regression'
test is broader for sgd (so we don't need many more epochs)
* Vulkan: Implement GGML_OP_OPT_STEP_SGD
* tests: Fix OPT_STEP_SGD test-backend-ops
* SGD op param store weight-decay and not 1-alpha*wd
* minor + cosmetic changes
* fix vulkan sgd
* try CI fix
