Subject: [PATCH] [Windows/HIP] Fix APU large BAR detection to enable >64GB
 unified memory allocation

Problem:
On Windows, HIP unconditionally disables large BAR (largeBar_ = false) for
all APU devices, regardless of their actual memory architecture. This causes
unified memory architecture (UMA) APUs like AMD Strix Halo (gfx1151) to be
artificially limited to ~64GB memory allocation, even when the system has
128GB+ RAM.

Root cause:
The premature redirect to RemoteUSWC heap in palmemory.cpp triggers the
Windows GART allocator's 50%-of-RAM limit, preventing applications from
utilizing the full unified memory capacity.

Solution:
1. paldevice.cpp: Remove HIP-specific hardcoded largeBar_ = false. Instead,
   detect UMA APUs by checking if GpuHeapInvisible (discrete VRAM) is absent.
   On UMA systems, the entire system memory is GPU-local, so resizable BAR
   semantics naturally apply.

2. palmemory.cpp: For large-bar APUs, skip the early redirect to RemoteUSWC.
   Let the natural retry loop handle heap selection (Local -> Persistent ->
   RemoteUSWC), avoiding the Windows GART 50% cap.

Testing:
Tested on AMD Strix Halo (gfx1151) with 128GB RAM:
- hipMallocManaged(64GB): Before: OOM, After: Success
- hipMallocManaged(70GB): Before: OOM, After: Success
- hipMallocManaged(80GB): Before: OOM, After: Success
- Cumulative 2x40GB: Before: OOM, After: Success

Impact:
- Discrete GPUs: No change (invisible heap exists, largeBar_ determined by HW)
- Non-large-bar APUs: Behavior unchanged (early redirect still applies)
- Large-bar APUs: Now correctly utilize full unified memory
- OpenCL: Benefits from the same fix (UMA detection is API-agnostic)

This fix is critical for enabling large model inference on APU-based systems.
