CUDA/HIP: Share the same unified memory allocation logic. (#12934)

Replace compile-time `GGML_HIP_UMA` with environment variable `GGML_CUDA_ENABLE_UNIFIED_MEMORY`. This unifies the usage on NVIDIA and AMD GPUs, and allows a single binary to be shared between integrated and dedicated GPUs.

-  On Linux it is also possible to use unified memory architecture (UMA) to share main memory between the CPU and integrated GPU by setting `-DGGML_HIP_UMA=ON`.
-  However, this hurts performance for non-integrated GPUs (but enables working with integrated GPUs).
 
   To enhance flash attention performance on RDNA3+ or CDNA architectures, you can utilize the rocWMMA library by enabling the `-DGGML_HIP_ROCWMMA_FATTN=ON` option. This requires rocWMMA headers to be installed on the build system.

 The environment variable [`HIP_VISIBLE_DEVICES`](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/latest/understand/gpu_isolation.html#hip-visible-devices) can be used to specify which GPU(s) will be used.
 If your GPU is not officially supported you can use the environment variable [`HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION`] set to a similar GPU, for example 10.3.0 on RDNA2 (e.g. gfx1030, gfx1031, or gfx1035) or 11.0.0 on RDNA3.
