llama : KV cache view API + better KV cache management (#4170)

* llama : keep track of used KV cells + better KV cache management

* llama : zero KV cache used upon clear

ggml-ci

* llama : allow exporting a view of the KV cache (#4180)

* Allow exporting a view of the KV cache

* Allow dumping the sequences per cell in common

* Track max contiguous cells value and position as well

* Fix max contiguous empty cells index calculation

Make dump functions deal with lengths or sequences counts > 10 better

* Fix off by one error in dump_kv_cache_view

* Add doc comments for KV cache view functions

Eliminate cell sequence struct; use llama_seq_id directly

Minor cleanups

* common : add -dkvc arg for enabling kv cache dumps
