Triton interpreter bug fixed: NaN handling in argmin/argmax corrected

A bug in Triton's interpreter mode caused discrepancies in the behavior of `tl.argmin` and `tl.argmax` functions when handling NaN values. Unlike the compiled mode, the interpreter incorrectly allowed NaN to be considered the minimum or maximum due to a missing conditional logic branch. This issue, identified in PR #10699, was resolved by adding the necessary routing logic and regression tests, ensuring the interpreter accurately reflects the compiled behavior. AI

IMPACT Ensures consistency between Triton's interpreter and compiled modes for debugging, improving developer experience.
