complex.pow(2) on GPU by replacing with complex * complex to avoid numerical instability (#152373)

Fixes #150951
Summary:
For complex.pow(2) on GPU:

Uses complex * complex directly.
Produces results consistent with CPU implementation.
Eliminates spurious imaginary components for real inputs.

🧪 Tests
Added unit tests to verify correctness of the new kernel path.
Verified numerical consistency with CPU results.

This change is backward-compatible and only affects the specific case of pow(2) on complex tensors on GPU.
