Pull request: [`attn_implementation`] remove recursive, allows custom kernels with wrappers

# What does this PR do?
This PR enables `paged_attention` usage: 
```python 
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_prertained("path", attn_implementation="paged_attention|kernels-community/flash-attn3")
```
This means I want to use the `paged_attention` wrapper of `transformers` -> no attention mask, no input pre-processing

```python
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_prertained("path", attn_implementation="sdpa|kernels-community/flash-attn3")
```
would use the `sdpa` wrapper from https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/fix-paged-wrapper/src/transformers/integrations/sdpa_attention.py#L16-L16
