Summary

• Add --conv-direct on|off|auto and conv_direct_mode with per-module overrides for diffusion, VAE, and ControlNet.
• Automatically enable supported implicit GEMM paths using capability probes without benchmarking. Cache 2D/3D decisions per backend and log selection reasons.
• Deprecate the legacy convolution flags while preserving compatibility, and document the new behavior.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added a --conv-direct on|off|auto setting, with optional per-module overrides for diffusion, VAE, and ControlNet.
  • In auto mode, direct convolution is enabled only when the runtime backend supports it. Mixed backend support is reported, and legacy convolution flags are honored when the new setting is unset.
• Documentation
  • Updated backend and CLI guides with the new setting, defaults, supported modules, and backend behavior.
• Compatibility
  • Legacy convolution flags remain available but now produce deprecation warnings.
