### Description
Adds the session config option `disable_cpu_ep_fallback` to allow the
user to prevent the CPU EP from handling
nodes not supported by other execution providers.
```C++
// Graph nodes that are not supported by the execution providers (EPs) explicitly added to the session are
// assigned (i.e., "fallback") to the CPU EP by default.
//
// This option allows the user to disable the fallback of unsupported graph nodes to the CPU EP.
// If this option is set to "1", session creation will fail if the execution providers other than the CPU EP cannot
// fully support all of the nodes in the graph.
//
// It is invalid to set this option and explicitly add the CPU EP to the session. In this case, session creation
// will also fail with an error.
//
// Option values:
// - "0": CPU EP fallback is not disabled. [DEFAULT]
// - "1": CPU EP fallback is disabled.
static const char* const kOrtSessionOptionsDisableCPUEPFallback = "session.disable_cpu_ep_fallback";
```
#### Example use
```C++
#include "core/session/onnxruntime_cxx_api.h"
#include "core/session/onnxruntime_session_options_config_keys.h"
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
Ort::SessionOptions so;
so.AddConfigEntry(kOrtSessionOptionsDisableCPUEPFallback, "1"); // Disable fallback to the CPU EP.
onnxruntime::ProviderOptions options;
#if defined(_WIN32)
options["backend_path"] = "QnnCpu.dll";
#else
options["backend_path"] = "libQnnCpu.so";
#endif
so.AppendExecutionProvider("QNN", options);
const ORTCHAR_T* ort_model_path = ORT_MODEL_FOLDER "qnn_ep_partial_support.onnx";
Ort::Session session(*ort_env, ort_model_path, so); // Throws exception if nodes fallback to CPU
// ...
```
### Motivation and Context
Makes it easier for application developers to ensure that the entire
model runs on specific EPs. This is critical for Qualcomm/scenarios. If
the compute cannot be offloaded to the NPU, running on CPU is not
acceptable. (could be the difference between 90 second inference and 6
seconds inference)

ONNX Runtime is a cross-platform inference and training machine-learning accelerator.
ONNX Runtime inference can enable faster customer experiences and lower costs, supporting models from deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch and TensorFlow/Keras as well as classical machine learning libraries such as scikit-learn, LightGBM, XGBoost, etc. ONNX Runtime is compatible with different hardware, drivers, and operating systems, and provides optimal performance by leveraging hardware accelerators where applicable alongside graph optimizations and transforms.
