Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Porting algorithm to cccl.c.parallel involves a lot of boilerplate code in build step. Depending on if an iterator has a state or not, we have to generate a string with C++ wrappers. Same applies to operators. We were able to abstract this in cuda.cooperative, so it should be possible to abstract build step in cccl.c.parallel as well:

template = Algorithm('WarpMergeSort',
'Sort',
'warp_merge_sort',
['cub/warp/warp_merge_sort.cuh'],
[TemplateParameter('KeyT'),
TemplateParameter('ITEMS_PER_THREAD'),
TemplateParameter('VIRTUAL_WARP_THREADS')],
[[Pointer(numba.uint8),
DependentArray(Dependency('KeyT'),
Dependency('ITEMS_PER_THREAD')),
DependentOperator(Constant(numba.int8), [Dependency('KeyT'), Dependency('KeyT')], Dependency('Op'))]],
type_definitions=[numba_type_to_wrapper(dtype, methods=methods)])
specialization = template.specialize({'KeyT': dtype,
'VIRTUAL_WARP_THREADS': threads_in_warp,
'ITEMS_PER_THREAD': items_per_thread,
'Op': compare_op})

Describe the solution you'd like

We should try abstracting build step for cccl.c.parallel algorithms. If we recognize that certain kernel parameters are iterators / operators, we could automate generating C++ wrappers.

Describe alternatives you've considered

@wmaxey, I'd like to check in to see if this item is on track? We have 10/10, and 11/14 as estimated start and end date respectively.
