Multi-threaded load of models from disk (big load time speedups & Offload to disk) (CORE-43,CORE-152,CORE-164,CORE-165,CORE-117) (#13802)

* model_management: disable non-dynamic smart memory

Disable smart memory outright for non dynamic models.

This is a minor step towards deprecation of --disable-dynamic-vram
and the legacy ModelPatcher.

This is needed for estimate-free model development, where new models
can opt-out of supplying a memory estimate and not have to worry
about hard VRAM allocations due to legacy non-dynamic model patchers

This is also a general stability increase for a lot of stray use cases
where estimates may still be off and going forward we are not going
to accurately maintain such estimates.

* pinned_memory: implement with aimdo growable buffer

Use a single growable buffer so we can do threaded pre-warming on
pinned memory.

* mm: use aimdo to do transfer from disk to pin

Aimdo implements a faster threaded loader.

* Add stream host pin buffer for AIMDO casts

Introduce per-offload-stream HostBuffer reuse for pinned staging,
include it in cast buffer reset synchronization.

Defer actual casts that go via this pin path to a separate pass
such that the buffer can be allocated monolithically (to avoid
cudaHostRegister thrash).

* remove old pin path

* Implement JIT pinned memory pressure

Replace the predictive pin pressure mechanism with JIT PIN memory
pressure.

* LowVRAMPatch: change to two-phase visit

* lora: re-implement as inplace swiss-army-knife operation

* prepare for multiple pin sets

* implement pinned loras

* requirements: comfy-aimdo 0.4.0

* ops: remove unused arg

This was defeatured in aimdo iteration

* ops: sync the CPU with only the offload stream activity

This was syncing with the offload stream which itself is synced with the
compute stream, so this was syncing CPU with compute transitively. Define
the event to sync it more gently.

* pins: implement freeing intermediate for pinned memory

Pinning is more important than inactive intermediates and the stream
pin buffer is more important than even active intermediates.

* execution: implement pin eviction on RAM presure

Add back proper pin freeing on RAM pressure

* implement pin registration swaps

Uncap the windows pins from 50% by extending the pool and have a pressure
mechanism to move the pin reservations om demand.

This unfortunately implies a GPU sync to do the freeing so significant
hysterisis needs to be added to consolidate these pressure events.

* cli_args/execution: Implement lower background cache-ram threshold

Limit the amount of RAM background intermediates can use, so that
switching workflows doesn't degrade performance too much.

* make default

* bump aimdo

* model-patcher: force-cast tiny weights

Flux 2 gets crazy stalls due to a mix of tiny and giant weights
creating lopsided steam buffer rotations which creates stalls.

* ops: refactor in prep for chunking

* mm: delegate pin-on-the-way to aimdo

Aimdo is able to chunk and slice this on the way for better CPU->GPU
overlap. The main advantage is the ability to shorten the bus contention
window between previous weight transfer and the next weights vbar
fault.

* bump aimdo

* pinning updates

* specify hostbuf max allocation size

There a signs of virtual memory exhaustion on some linux systems when
throwing 128GB for every little piece. Pass the actual to save aimdo
from over-estimates

* tests: update execution tests for caching

The default caching changed to ram-cache so update these tests
accordingly.

Remove the LRU 0 test as this also falls through to RAM cache.
