server: GPU argmax fast path for greedy decode

Browse Source 
When all active sequences use temperature=0, run argmax on the GPU and
only D2H the token ids (~B×4 bytes) instead of the full [B, vocab_size]
BF16 logits (~1.2 MB at B=4, Qwen3 vocab=152K). Mixed-sampling batches
fall back to the existing CPU path.
