CANN: add support for ACL Graph (#15065)

* feat(cann): add optional support for ACL Graph execution

This commit adds support for executing ggml computational graphs using
Huawei's ACL graph mode via the USE_CANN_GRAPH flag. The support can be
enabled at compile time using the CMake option:

    -DUSE_CANN_GRAPH=ON

By default, ACL graph execution is **disabled**, and the fallback path
uses node-by-node execution.

Key additions:
- CMake option  to toggle graph mode
- Graph capture and execution logic using
- Tensor property matching to determine whether graph update is required
- Safe fallback and logging if the environment variable LLAMA_SET_ROWS
  is unset or invalid

This prepares the backend for performance improvements in repetitive graph
execution scenarios on Ascend devices.
