Oh.... This is... Amazing! Thanks enormously for this, really, it's been on my secretive wishlist for so long... |

This feature has been in the queue for a long time (see #1259), and some folks have found that they can use `pure_callback` to call the CPU version as a workaround. It has recently come up that there can be issues when using `pure_callback` with JAX calls in the body (#24255; this should be investigated separately). This change adds a native solution for computing `lax.linalg.eig` on GPU. By default, this is implemented by calling LAPACK on host directly because this has good performance for small to moderately sized problems (less than about 2048^2). For larger matrices, a GPU-backed implementation based on [MAGMA](https://icl.utk.edu/magma/) can have significantly better performance. (I should note that I haven't done a huge amount of benchmarking yet, but this was the breakeven point used by PyTorch, and I find roughly similar behavior so far.) We don't want to add MAGMA as a required dependency, but if a user has installed it, JAX can use it when the `jax_gpu_use_magma` configuration variable is set to `"on"`. By default, we try to dlopen `libmagma.so`, but the path to a non-standard installation location can be specified using the `JAX_GPU_MAGMA_PATH` environment variable. PiperOrigin-RevId: 691072237
