## Summary of Changes
This pull request significantly refactors the DLPack integration by
introducing a unified `DLPackExchangeAPI` struct. This change streamlines the
process of exchanging tensors and handling device streams between different
frameworks, particularly PyTorch, by consolidating related C functions into a
single, more manageable interface. It also adds support for non-owning DLTensor
conversions to improve efficiency.
### Highlights
* **Unified DLPack Exchange API**: A new `DLPackExchangeAPI` C struct has
been introduced to consolidate all DLPack-related function pointers (for
converting to/from PyObject, allocating tensors, and querying current work
streams) into a single, streamlined interface. This replaces the previous
method of passing individual function pointers.
* **Enhanced Stream Handling**: The new `DLPackExchangeAPI` now includes a
`current_work_stream` function pointer, which allows for more robust and
integrated querying of the current device stream (e.g., CUDA stream) during
DLPack tensor exchanges, particularly for non-CPU devices.
* **Non-Owning DLTensor Conversion**: A new `toDLPackNonOwningImpl` function
has been added to facilitate the creation of non-owning `DLTensor` instances
directly from PyTorch tensors. This can lead to performance improvements by
avoiding unnecessary reference counting overhead.
* **Refactored PyTorch Integration**: The Python FFI for PyTorch has been
updated to expose the new `DLPackExchangeAPI` struct via
`__c_dlpack_exchange_api__` on `torch.Tensor`, simplifying the integration and
interaction with DLPack functionalities.
* **DLPack Submodule Update**: The `3rdparty/dlpack` submodule has been
updated to a newer commit, which likely incorporates the necessary definitions
and changes for the new `DLPackExchangeAPI` structure.

<summary><b>Activity</b></summary>
* Kathryn-cat addressed comments from tqchen and indicated that the PR is in
good shape, suggesting that unit tests be moved to a separate PR.
* tqchen provided several review comments, including suggestions for
refactoring context fields, clarifying static member initialization, moving
implementations to the `aten::` namespace, ensuring consistent naming, and
updating the DLPack API passing mechanism.
* Kathryn-cat updated the code multiple times in response to tqchen's
feedback.
* A bot (`gemini-code-assist[bot]`) identified a broad condition for device
type checks in CUDA stream handling and suggested making it specific to
`kDLCUDA` or `kDLROCM`, which was subsequently incorporated into the code.
