Handle argmin/argmax tuple accumulators in CUB

[Aminsed]

Summary

• allow / to accept heterogeneous tuple/pair inputs produced by the latest CCCL release
• normalize both operands to tuples so the result always matches CUB's accumulator type
• include to reuse the existing concept

Greptile Overview

Greptile Summary

Modified CustomArgMaxCmp and CustomArgMinCmp to handle heterogeneous tuple/pair inputs from CUB 3.2.0+ by normalizing both operands to tuples before comparison.

Key changes:

• Added private ToTuple helper that converts pairs to tuples using cuda::std::make_tuple, while passing tuples through unchanged (using is_tuple_c concept)
• Changed operator() to accept two different template parameters (InitT and InputT) to support heterogeneous comparisons
• Normalized both operands to tuples before comparing, ensuring the return type always matches CUB's accumulator type
• Added include for matx/core/type_utils_both.h to access the is_tuple_c concept

Why this was needed:
CUB now stores the reduction accumulator as a cuda::std::tuple while input iterators provide thrust::pair, causing compilation failures when the comparator operators only accepted a single template parameter.

Confidence Score: 5/5

• This PR is safe to merge with minimal risk
• The changes are focused, well-tested, and correctly address the compatibility issue with CUB 3.2.0. The implementation properly handles type normalization using existing utilities (is_tuple_c concept), maintains the original comparison logic, and the return type correctly matches CUB's expectations. The fix is backward compatible and doesn't affect other functionality.
• No files require special attention
