Replace the LLVM 19 backend feature with LLVM 21 while retaining LLVM 7 for the legacy path. Update feature forwarding, LLVM tool discovery, the vector-add example, the Nix shell, container definitions, and docs. - rustc_llvm_wrapper: guard the Instrumentation.h include to LLVM < 19 and update wrapper APIs for LLVM 21; add tests/llvm-wrapper capture checks. - nvvm: restore kernel annotations after the LLVM 21 bitcode upgrade. - cust: handle CUDA 13.3's CU_GRAPH_NODE_TYPE_RESERVED_16 graph node type. - CI: add LLVM 21 vector-add jobs on x86_64 and aarch64 using CUDA 13.3.1 and LLVM 21.1.8 prebuilts, with a configurable PREBUILT_LLVM_URL; install libzstd-dev so the static LLVM link resolves -lzstd. - Update the Windows CUDA installer action for CUDA 13.3.1.

Upstream review: Rust-GPU#408
Upgrade the modern backend to LLVM 21.1.8 and CUDA 13.3, including feature selection, Nix tooling, LLVM downloads, and Linux/Windows CI configuration. Linux validation uses upstream LLVM release prebuilts and compiles the vector-add example.
This is the bottom of stack Rust-GPU#6:
main→experiment/cuda13.3-llvm21→poc/portable-ptx-export. The dependent portable PTX export work is in #4; this PR retains the existing six LLVM upgrade commits unchanged.Validation: branch ancestry verified against the current fork
main. The combined export backend requires fresh Linux CI validation; previous LLVM 19 workload results do not validate LLVM 21.LLVM archive override: the builder accepts
PREBUILT_LLVM_URLwith or without a trailing slash;USE_PREBUILT_LLVM=1forces its download path. Linux CI reads the repository variable of the same name and defaults to the fork's LLVM 21.1.8 release. All three release asset SHA-256 hashes match artifacts downloaded from run 34781677658 at commit 2cf27700bffbab35dff21a58d1e19ca12525ca6f. Archive layout was checked for each host platform. The guide documents the override.Active native stack: #3 → #7 → #8 → #9 → #10. Historical-report PR #11 is closed. Updated CI is pending.
