…ale with nvfp4 output (triton-lang#9854) nvfp4 has a tensor-wide scale. This PR adds support for this scale when the matmul output needs to be quantized to nvfp4.

nvfp4 has a tensor-wide scale. This PR adds support for this scale when the matmul output needs to be quantized to nvfp4. We use flex ctx to carry the scale.
