[WebGPU EP] Reduce forward declaration boilerplate in kernel registration

[edgchen1]

Description

Update WebGPU EP kernel registration to remove redundant forward declarations.

E.g., change from this:

class ONNX_OPERATOR_KERNEL_CLASS_NAME(kWebGpuExecutionProvider, kMSDomain, 1, Attention);

  static const BuildKernelCreateInfoFn function_table[] = {
      ...
      BuildKernelCreateInfo<ONNX_OPERATOR_KERNEL_CLASS_NAME(kWebGpuExecutionProvider, kMSDomain, 1, Attention)>,

to this:

static const BuildKernelCreateInfoFn function_table[] = {
    ...
    BuildKernelCreateInfo<class ONNX_OPERATOR_KERNEL_CLASS_NAME(kWebGpuExecutionProvider, kMSDomain, 1, Attention)>,

One subtlety is that the function table needs to be moved outside of the function now, since function-local (block scope) forward declarations would introduce names with no linkage. Those names should have external linkage.

We already do something similar here:

onnxruntime/onnxruntime/test/autoep/library/example_plugin_ep_kernel_registry/ep_kernel_registration.cc

Line 12 in aaa4944

BuildKernelCreateInfo<class ONNX_OPERATOR_KERNEL_CLASS_NAME(kOnnxDomain, 14, Mul)>,

Motivation and Context

Reduce boilerplate.

Pull request overview

Refactors WebGPU EP kernel registration to eliminate large blocks of redundant forward declarations by using elaborated type specifiers (class ...) directly in BuildKernelCreateInfo<...> entries, and moving the function pointer tables to namespace scope to ensure the introduced declarations have external linkage.

Changes:

• Replace explicit forward-declaration lists with BuildKernelCreateInfo<class ONNX_OPERATOR_...> usage.
• Move kernel create-info function tables out of function scope and reuse them in registration loops.

File	Description
onnxruntime/core/providers/webgpu/webgpu_execution_provider.cc	Moves WebGPU kernel create-info function table to namespace scope and removes forward-declaration boilerplate via class in template arguments.
onnxruntime/contrib_ops/webgpu/webgpu_contrib_kernels.cc	Applies the same pattern for WebGPU contrib kernel registration by hoisting the function table and removing forward declarations.
