[CUDA] Add use_tf32 provider option (for FP32 GEMM) (#19357)
[TF32](https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/tensorfloat-32-precision-format/)
could help boost performance on GPU of SM >= 80. Sometime, user observes accuracy loss, or need disable TF32 for testing
purpose. To disable TF32, it is also possible to set environment
variable `NVIDIA_TF32_OVERRIDE = 0`. However, sometime we do not want to
use environment variable to avoid impacting other applications, or want
to have finer control (like one session using TF32, and another session
not). This provider option could help.

Here we add a provider option `use_tf32`. When `use_tf32 = 0`, we will
disable TF32 for float MatMul/GEMM in cublas. It applies to MatMulNBits,
Attention, LongformerAttention, PackedAttention,
PackedMultiHeadAttention operators when float GEMM is used internally in
the operator. Note that it will not impact other data type, like fp8
gemm could still use TF32 in accumulation.

Previously, cublasGemmStridedBatchedHelper does not use TF32 in
inference. Here we enabled TF32 by default, so we might observe speed up
for FP32 transformers models on SM >= 80.

There is another PR that enables the option for cuDNN Conv later.
