Summary:
Per title.
This PR introduces a global flag that lets pytorch prefer one of the many backend implementations while calling linear algebra functions on GPU.
Usage:
```python
torch.backends.cuda.preferred_linalg_library('cusolver')
```
Available options (str): `'default'`, `'cusolver'`, `'magma'`.
Issue https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/63992 inspired me to write this PR. No heuristic is perfect on all devices, library versions, matrix shapes, workloads, etc. We can obtain better performance if we can conveniently switch linear algebra backends at runtime.
Performance of linear algebra operators after this PR should be no worse than before. The flag is set to **`'default'`** by default, which makes everything the same as before this PR.
The implementation of this PR is basically following that of https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/pull/67790.
