[MiniMax-M3.1] Fix CI: lazy CuTe DSL imports, CUDA 13.0 skips, test configs

- Import the M3 CuTe DSL ops (fused MoE finalize, QKV+indexer epilogue)
  where they are used: a module-level import made every import of
  vllm.models.minimax_m3 require cutlass, which the ROCm and CPU images
  do not install.
- Skip the NVFP4 prefill tests when MSA cannot build the Q8KV4 prefill
  (CUDA < 13.4), with MSA's reason.
- Keep the ROCm-only amd_specialized_decode tests out of the B200
  MiniMax-M3 job.
- Compare FLASHINFER_TS with FA4 within one bf16 ulp instead of bit-exact.
- Give the M3 embed-sharing fixture a moe_backend and a TP=1 group.
