* model: add support for extra bufs for all devices
* hexagon: add experimental ggml-hexagon backend for the Hexagon NPU
This commit introduces a new experimental backend `ggml-hexagon` with support for the Hexagon NPU.
Highlights:
- Supports Hexagon versions: v73, v75, v79, and v81
- Targets Android devices based on Snapdragon SoCs: Gen3, 8-Elite, and 8-Elite Gen5
- Supports Q4_0, Q8_0, MXFP4, and FP32 data types
- Implements core LLM ops: MUL_MAT/MUL_MAT_ID, ADD/SUB/MUL/ADD_ID, RMS_NORM, ROPE, GLU/SWIGLU, SOFTMAX
**Note:** This backend is experimental and may exhibit instability or limited performance across supported devices.
It is intended for early testing and feedback from llama.cpp/ggml developer and user community.

* hexagon: fix format checker errors
* hexagon: update readme and cmake presets
* ci: add android-ndk-build jobs that build plain ARM64 and Snapdragon versions
* hexagon: add simple graph optimizer for stacking MUL_MAT ops with the same input
* hexagon: move ADB helper scripts into scripts/snapdragon/adb
* hexagon: replace all f/printfs with GGML_LOG_...
* readme: add hexagon to the list supported backends
* hexagon: stack malmuts with quantized inputs only
* hexagon: add TODO for fixing issues in hexagon_graph_optimize
* hexagon: update to hex-sdk 6.4.0 and add scripts for running on QDC
* scripts: fix lint errors
* scripts: update qdc pytest script to make linter happy
* hexagon: add reduce sum in fp32
* hexagon: reduce number of vector stores in matmul output
* hexagon: remove the need for vdelta in reduce-multiply-x8
* hexagon: consistent use of reduce_sum_fp32 for row_sums
* hexagon: some more matmul optimizations and comments
Optimize cases where tensor dims are not multiple of 1024 (e.g in Qwen models).
We've handled those cases already but at a higher overhead.
* hexagon: update cmake presets
* hexagon: add OPMASK support for run-bench.sh wrapper
* hexagon: update to use GGML_BACKEND_API
* hexagon: remove unused logic for setting tensor flags for the views
* hexagon: add asserts to set/get_tensor to make sure we handle complete tensors
Same asserts as the CPU backend.
* hexagon: use cpy_tensor slow path for non-host buffers
* hexagon: error checks in the buffer allocator
* cmake: move include(extProj) under ggml-hexagon
* hexagon: don't forget to delete the backend on free
* hexagon: set/get_tensor size assert apply only to quantized tensors
* hexagon: reintroduce HEX_VERBOSE wrapper for GGML_LOG_DEBUG for now
GGML_LOG_DEBUG is always enabled for test-backend-ops and the output gets in the way.
Ideally we need a bit more finer log levels.
* docs: typos in hexagon developer docs (libggm-...)
* hexagon: overhaul error handling in the session/device allocation
this should handle all failure paths in the session allocation.
* hexagon: update cmake presets to enable fp16 vectors
* hexagon: remove unused time_usec function
* hexagon: don't forget to release buffer contexts
* hexagon: fixed indents in hvx-utils (missed clang-format auto-format failure)
* hexagon: remove custom can_repeat function and use ggml_can_repeat
