Integrate CSA/SDPA attention into vLLM for Blackwell

- Add vllm/patches/layers/csa_attention.py: pure PyTorch replacement
  for FlashMLA + fused CUDA kernels that don't work on SM100
- Patch deepseek_v4_attention.py: detect SM100+ and dispatch to
  _forward_blackwell() which uses:
  1. fused_qnorm_rope_kv_insert_py() instead of C++ kernel
  2. full_sdpa_attention() instead of FlashMLA
  3. BF16 inverse RoPE + BMM for wo_a (same as existing BF16 path)
- Add csa_attention.py to Dockerfile

The Blackwell path:
  GEMM projections (CuTeDSL) → RMS norm → q_b → RoPE (PyTorch) →
  SDPA attention → inverse RoPE + wo_a BMM → wo_b → output

CSA (Compressed Sparse Attention) + HCA (Heavily Compressed Attention)
replacement for vLLM's FlashMLA sparse attention on Blackwell (SM100+).
FlashMLA's compiled CUDA kernels don't work on SM100. This module provides
a pure PyTorch implementation using torch.nn.functional.scaled_dot_product_attention
which works on all GPUs including Blackwell.
The architecture:
- CSA (C128A, compress_ratio=128): KV cache compressed 128x.
Indexer finds top-k relevant positions. Sparse attention on those.
- HCA (C4A, compress_ratio=4): KV cache compressed 4x with overlap.
Similar indexer + sparse attention.
- SWA: Sliding window attention (compress_ratio=0/1).
