fix: repair flash attention support (#386)

* repair flash attention in _ext
this does not fix the currently broken fa behind the define, which is only used by VAE

Co-authored-by: FSSRepo <FSSRepo@users.noreply.github.com>

* make flash attention in the diffusion model a runtime flag
no support for sd3 or video

* remove old flash attention option and switch vae over to attn_ext

* update docs

* format code

##### Using Flash Attention
Enabling flash attention reduces memory usage by at least 400 MB. At the moment, it is not supported when CUBLAS is enabled because the kernel implementation is missing.
Enabling flash attention for the diffusion model reduces memory usage by varying amounts of MB.
eg.:
- flux 768x768 ~600mb
- SD2 768x768 ~1400mb
For most backends, it slows things down, but for cuda it generally speeds it up too.
At the moment, it is only supported for some models and some backends (like cpu, cuda/rocm, metal).
Run by adding `--diffusion-fa` to the arguments and watch for:
```
cmake .. -DSD_FLASH_ATTN=ON
cmake --build . --config Release
[INFO ] stable-diffusion.cpp:312 - Using flash attention in the diffusion model
```
and the compute buffer shrink in the debug log:
```
