Update external library bindings

[mdboom]

This updates external (nvvm, nvjitlink and cufile) based on a few bugfixes. This wraps up 3 separate changes:

• Fix a race condition where the init function could be called multiple times (increasing startup times)

• Adds cdef _get_ptr to class wrappers as a way to get a pointer to the underlying buffer without making a Python call (this is largely in support of future work to refactor how the buffer is allocated, in support of the future NVML bindings) -- In this case, there are no functions here that make use of _get_ptr, but since they aren't exposed, Cython generates a static C function which the linker will remove because no one uses it. For example:

static intptr_t __pyx_f_4cuda_8bindings_6cufile_13_py_anon_pod1__get_ptr(struct __pyx_obj_4cuda_8bindings_6cufile__py_anon_pod1 *__pyx_v_self);

• Fixes a bug where string buffers that have invalid UTF-8 in "garbage" memory after the null-terminator character would raise a UnicodeDecodeError.

Q: Should we turn this function into a no-op (or remove it) to confirm the string fix?

@leofang: WRT the "to-be-backported" label... do we usually backport these non-runtime/non-driver changes?

Yeah, I was just thinking the same thing.

Yes. We backport all bug fixes and enhancements to the 12.9 branch. For this PR since the diff is simple (not touching GHA files or build system), the bot can automatically backport it after the PR is merged.

Ah got it. That was the source of my confusion.

Hopefully #1199 can help eliminate the confusion 🙂
