On SM100, the Attn-QAT training kernel now uses a faster route for non-causal
BF16 attention with equal query and key lengths of 16384 tokens or more. The
forward pass processes full KV tiles without bounds masks, and a separate masked
step handles the partial tail tile. The backward pass uses 64x128 dQ and dK/dV
tiles. Outputs, softmax statistics and all gradients are bitwise identical to the
previous route. FASTVIDEO_ATTN_QAT_SM100_OPTIMIZED=0 turns off the SM100 route,
and FASTVIDEO_ATTN_QAT_SM100_WIDE_BWD=0 keeps the 64x64 backward tiles.
On GB200 with 6 heads and 31200 tokens, the forward kernel time goes from 9.14 ms
to 6.96 ms and the backward kernel time from 17.41 ms to 15.85 ms.
