Description

### Is this a duplicate?

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

https://github.com/NVIDIA/cccl/pull/256 introduced shuffle-based warp exchange algorithm that supports cases where items per threads is equal to the number of threads and is a power-of-two number. Alternative [algorithms](https://github.com/bryancatanzaro/trove) support `n` threads containing `m` items. Apart from that, we could relax the requirement on the item types to be any trivially-copyable type fitting into 64 bits.

### Describe the solution you'd like

We should:

### Tasks
- [ ] Support non-square cases in shuffle-based warp exchange algorithm
- [ ] Support trivially-copyable types that can fit into 64 bits in shuffle-based warp exchange algorithm

### Describe alternatives you've considered
