Abstract atomic add calls (#31992) Summary: Instead of a mixture of direct calls to library provided atomicAdd calls, such as float atomicAdd(float*, float) and calls provided internally, such as void atomicAdd(long*, long), abstract to one API void gpuAtomicAdd(T*, T) in THCAtomics.cuh for the PyTorch backend. The advantage of this approach is that it allows us to more easily distinguish between capabiltiies of different platforms (and their versions). Additionally, the abstraction of void returning atomicAdds allows us to, in the future, support fast HW instructions on some platforms that will not return the previous value. Call sites that do not satisfy above conditions and are either highly platform specific (__half2 atomicAdd fast path in one operator) or require the return explicitly (some int atomicAdd invocations) are left untouched. The Caffe2 backend also remains untouched. While here, add a bunch of includes of THCAtomics.cuh that were missing before.
