Replace <cuda/stream_ref> includes with <cuda/stream>

[bdice]

Description

CCCL deprecated the <cuda/stream_ref> header; cuda::stream_ref is now provided by <cuda/stream>. This PR switches every #include <cuda/stream_ref> to #include <cuda/stream> so libcudf builds against newer CCCL.

Rebased onto main after #23649 (Use cuda::stream_ref for compute APIs) so the additional includes from that migration are covered as well. Also drops a duplicate <cuda/stream> include in top_k.cu that the rename introduced.

The cuda::stream_ref type is unchanged. This matches the same change in RMM (rapidsai/rmm#2513) and was observed in rapids-cmake CI: https://github.com/rapidsai/rapids-cmake/actions/runs/31745925779/job/94600794610?pr=1073

Walkthrough

Changes

The change replaces <cuda/stream_ref> with <cuda/stream> across cuDF headers, implementation files, and tests. Selected stream parameter types and copyright notices also change.

CUDA stream header migration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Header, implementation, and test updates cpp/include/cudf/..., cpp/src/..., cpp/tests/...	CUDA stream includes now use <cuda/stream>. Selected stream parameters use cuda::stream. Selected copyright notices include 2026 or AFFILIATES.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 60f88

This change only updates deprecated CUDA stream header includes without changing the stream type or runtime behavior; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.
