Pull request: cuda: add SET operation support

### Summary
Implements the `SET` operator for the CUDA backend, providing full support for tensor region updates on CUDA devices.  
This implementation leverages the existing `ggml_cuda_cpy` path instead of introducing a new kernel, ensuring consistent semantics and avoiding code duplication.

---

### Changes
- Added CUDA implementation for `GGML_OP_SET` in `set.cu`
- Integrated with the existing `ggml_cuda_cpy` logic for efficient device-to-device copies
- Ensured alignment with CPU semantics (offset, strides, and inplace handling)
- Verified backend registration and operator support detection

---

### Implementation
- Supports contiguous tensors (`src0`, `src1`, `dst`)
- Handles both `F32` and `I32` tensor types
- If `!inplace`, performs an initial copy `src0 → dst`
- Creates a sub-view of `dst`:
  - `offset` and `nb1/nb2/nb3` taken from `op_params`
  - Adjusted `ne[0..3]` to match `src1`
- Copies `src1 → dst_view` via `ggml_cuda_cpy`
- No new CUDA kernels introduced — relies entirely on the existing copy logic
- Fully aligned with the CPU `SET` operator behavior

---

### Testing
All CUDA and CPU backend tests completed successfully, including full CI regression and operator coverage.  
The `SET` operation was additionally verified for numerical consistency and backend parity with the CPU implementation.  
No regressions or test failures were observed across the full test suite.

---

### Performance
- Matches `ggml_cuda_cpy` throughput (uses async CUDA memcpy operations)
- Zero overhead from redundant kernel launches
- Optimized memory access through direct device pointer manipulation

---

### Compatibility
- `F32` and `I32` tensors supported
- Works with any CUDA-capable device (tested on NVIDIA T1200 Laptop GPU)
- Follows existing CUDA backend design patterns (e.g. `SET_ROWS`, `CPY`)

---

### Notes for maintainers
The `SET` CUDA implementation maintains backend parity with the CPU operator while minimizing maintenance overhead.  
It reuses the shared `ggml_cuda_cpy` infrastructure, ensuring future improvements to copy logic automatically benefit `SET`.
