Attempt to fix Awkward Array 3rd party tests

[gmarkall]

A couple of Awkward Array tests cover functionality that is experimental and/or unused in CUDA, as discussed in scikit-hep/awkward#3587.

These tests can fail intermittently, causing issues for CI. This PR patches out the generation and execution of these tests.

We should also not be constraining the version of cuda-core that is installed alongside numba-cuda. The Awkward Array CI test script did this, but so did the other thirdparty tests and the coverage test. This pinning is now removed.

Greptile Overview

Greptile Summary

Removed cuda-core==0.3.* version constraint from all CI test scripts, allowing numba-cuda to work with any compatible cuda-core version. Added a patch to the Awkward Array test script to skip three tests that fail intermittently due to experimental/unused CUDA functionality:

• Removed awkward_RecordArray_reduce_nonlocal_outoffsets_64 from test generation
• Skipped entire test_3459_virtualarray_with_cuda module
• Skipped test_block_boundary_prod_complex13 function

The patch is well-documented with references to the upstream discussion (scikit-hep/awkward#3587) and uses correct heredoc syntax to ensure the patch content is applied literally.

Confidence Score: 5/5

• Safe to merge - simple, well-documented changes that address intermittent test failures
• Changes are straightforward and low-risk: removing overly-restrictive version constraints allows proper dependency resolution, and patching out problematic tests prevents intermittent CI failures without affecting actual functionality. The patch uses correct bash heredoc syntax and is properly documented.
• No files require special attention
