llama.cpp updates testing framework, improves log management

The llama.cpp project released version b10362, which includes updates to its testing framework. Specifically, the release disables a backend sampler test for HIP (Heterogeneous Integration Platform) due to compatibility issues with CUB, which is required for top_k sampling. Additionally, the continuous integration process was updated to better manage GPU-ROCm logs by storing them in a per-run directory keyed by the GitHub run ID, addressing an issue where logs were being overwritten.
