DickJC123 commented on issue #13142: [WIP] cudnnFind** API does not return 
deterministic algorithms

   This PR addresses a different type of determinism.  My PR improved the 
framework's ability to select the same conv algorithm within a model run and 
from one run to the next based on improvements in the use of cudnnFind().  This 
PR deals with making that selection only within the domain of 'deterministic 
algorithms.'  Some algos have unordered threads summing into a result value 
using atomic adds.  These algos do not always produce the same result from the 
same input data (i.e. they are non-deterministic).  This PR deals with limiting 
the cudnnFind() selection to only deterministic algos.
