Lazily initialize streaming groupby aggregation kinds

[bdice]

Description

Construct the streaming groupby's device aggregation kinds when the first non-empty batch initializes the rest of its device state. This removes the zero-length placeholder allocation on the legacy default stream and uses the operation's stream instead.

The device vector is stored in a std::unique_ptr, consistent with the other lazily initialized device state in streaming_groupby::impl. There is no public API change.

Changes

Streaming groupby aggregation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Aggregation buffer lifecycle cpp/src/groupby/streaming_groupby/common.cuh, cpp/src/groupby/streaming_groupby/impl.cu	_d_agg_kinds now uses a std::unique_ptr. Initialization allocates the device vector with the provided stream and memory resource.
Aggregation buffer consumers cpp/src/groupby/streaming_groupby/aggregate.cu, cpp/src/groupby/streaming_groupby/merge.cu	Aggregation and merge paths now access the device vector through _d_agg_kinds->data().

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 9ffc0

This is a localized internal behavior change with no actionable merge-blocking risk remaining; it is merge-ready after normal checks and review.

Add targeted regression coverage for deferred initialization.

EmptyBatch covers empty-first followed by non-empty input. Other tests cover repeated aggregate() calls and merge() separately, but no test combines these paths with an explicit non-default cuda::stream_ref. Add this unit test and extend the existing streaming NVBench case to cover the deferred-initialization lifecycle.
