This PR:
* Introduces an ATen op for creating true jagged views from a dense values buffer
* `_nested_view_from_jagged(values, offsets, lengths, ragged_idx, dummy)`
* This ops is implemented on the Python side using torch.library so we can return a subclass instance
* `jagged_from_list()` now uses this instead of the old autograd.Function `NestedViewFromBuffer`
* The latter op is used for non-contiguous JTs returned via `torch.nested.narrow()`
* `dummy` is an awful hack to ensure that `NestedTensor.__torch_dispatch__()` is invoked for our view
* Introduces an ATen op for accessing the `values` component of an NT via a view
* `_nested_get_values(nt)`
* **Removes** the autograd.Functions `ViewNestedFromBuffer` and `ViewBufferFromNested` in favor of `nested_from_values_offsets()` / `nested_from_values_offsets_lengths()` and `nt.values()`, respectively.
* Changes test code to prefer `as_nested_tensor()` over `jagged_from_list()` directly
* Similarly, avoid `buffer_from_jagged()`, preferring `values()`
* Depends on general subclass view fake-ification on the PT2 side (handled solely in previous PRs in the stack)
With these changes, the semantics of jagged layout NTs are such that they are considered a true view of the underlying `values` buffer. This means views of jagged NTs are views of the underlying buffer as well, simplifying some handling.

Meta registration wrongly assumes 4D inputs, while the underlying op allows 3D inputs for the `mha_varlen_fwd()` case.
Testing: I added `detach()`es so the NJT test `test_sdpa_compile()` won't fail for a view-related reason. It should pass now with this fix.

# Summary
Simplification of Backend Selection
This PR deprecates the `torch.backends/cuda/sdp_kernel` context manager and replaces it with a new context manager `torch.nn.attention.sdpa_kernel`. This context manager also changes the api for this context manager.
For `sdp_kernel` one would specify the backend choice by taking the negation of what kernel they would like to run. The purpose of this backend manager was to only to be a debugging tool, "turn off the math backend" and see if you can run one of the fused implementations.
Problems:
- This pattern makes sense if majority of users don't care to know anything about the backends that can be run. However, if users are seeking to use this context manager then they are explicitly trying to run a specific backend.
- This is not scalable. We are working on adding the cudnn backend and this API makes it so so that more implementations will need to be turned off if user wants to explicitly run a given backend.
- Discoverability of the current context manager. It is somewhat un-intutive that this backend manager is in backends/cuda/init when this now also controls the CPU fused kernel behavior. I think centralizing to attention namespace will be helpful.
Other concerns:
- Typically backends (kernels) for operators are entirely hidden from users and implementation details of the framework. We have exposed this to users already, albeit not by default and with beta warnings. Does making backends choices even more explicit lead to problems when we potentially want to remove existing backends, (perhaps inputs shapes will get covered by newer backends).
A nice side effect is now that we aren't using the `BACKEND_MAP` in test_transformers many, many dynamo failures are passing for CPU tests.

Support this fallback by converting the jagged layout NT to strided layout NT, and the convert the result back to jagged layout NT.
This fallback might not be efficient since it uses unbind, contiguous and split.
