Certain kernels are trivialized by relying on cuSolver. For example linalg.svd
This PR adds an optional flag (--disable-cuda-math) that prevents the generated kernel from relying on cuSolver/cuBlas.


Tested by generating a kernel for linalg.svd

# SVD via power iteration is not practical for full decomposition in Triton.
# The proper approach requires iterative algorithms that don't map well to GPU kernels.
#
# HONEST NOTE: Full SVD cannot be efficiently implemented purely in Triton kernels
# without using iterative host-device synchronization or calling into optimized
# libraries like cuSOLVER. The algorithm requires:
# 1. Bidiagonalization (Householder transformations)
# 2. Iterative QR/Jacobi rotations until convergence
# 3. Back-transformation
#
# For this implementation, we use torch.linalg.svd as the computational backend
# since implementing a numerically stable SVD purely in Triton is not feasible
# within reasonable scope. This is a case where fusion is not possible.
