Add a resource-separation regression test.

When null_contribution > 0, mark_join::mark_probe_and_retrieve reaches thrust::copy_if. The current tests use the same resource for temporary and output allocations, so they do not detect a regression in this resource contract. Add a null-equality-unequal anti-join test with distinct tracking resources and verify both allocation paths.

mark_join::mark_probe_and_retrieve covering a null-equality-unequal anti-join
with null_contribution greater than zero. Configure distinct tracking resources
for temporary and output allocations, then verify that each resource services
its expected allocation path, including the thrust::copy_if operation.

[Optional] Should this also use temp_mr, like you did with d_result in group_nunique? Or would this wait until sorted_dense_rank gets a memory resource parameter?

dense_rank_sorted is the output isnt it? So, it should ideally be set with the output MR, which we will do once the rank.cu is ported to memory_resources

It's the return value of this (helper) function, but the output (of rank) is rank_column (line 265). This is a const scratch key vector (see the comment in lines 286-287). So using temp_mr here is correct, unless I'm missing something.

So does this mean we can now add fail_on_current_device_resource_use() into this test? Since has_nonempty_nulls does not reach count_if for a fixed-width type?

Yes, fixed width types should work without a problem. Strings and lists were the problematic types.

Your original phrasing pointed at count_if/transform_reduce, which are reachable from has_nonempty_null_rows called from has_nonempty_nulls. That's likely too detailed here, but maybe another TODO is warranted in has_nonempty_null_rows (purge_nonempty_nulls.cu) as well? Per #20780 ("APIs that don't return device memory"), subsequent PRs would add an mr parameter to has_nonempty_nulls (used in cudf::column_device_view::create), but propagating that into count_if→transform_reduce would happen later (aside: transform_reduce is not mentioned in #20780).

The above brings up another minor inaccuracy in my earlier suggested wording: simply accepting a memory resource in has_nonempty_nulls is not sufficient — it also has to be fully propagated through the call chain (into count_if→transform_reduce). So maybe "accepts and fully propagates" is better here (and in column_utilities.cu)…

Sorry, the actual requests might've gotten lost in the above wall of text. Should we (a) add a TODO in has_nonempty_null_rows and (b) change this TODO to say "accepts and fully propagates"?

// current device resource for string columns. Once it accepts a memory resource, guard this
// comparison with fail_on_current_device_resource_use().
