Description
### Is this a duplicate?
- [X] I confirmed there appear to be no [duplicate issues](https://github.com/NVIDIA/cccl/issues) for this request and that I agree to the [Code of Conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md)
### Area
CUB
### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Some CUB algorithms (histogram and reduce) rely on vectorized loads. Other CUB algorithms demonstrate poor memory utilization when processing 1-2 byte types.
#### U8

#### U16

### Describe the solution you'd like
We should consider vectorizing memory operations in the following algorithms:
### Tasks
- [ ] Vectorize memory operations in run length encode
- [ ] Vectorize memory operations in partition
- [ ] https://github.com/NVIDIA/cccl/issues/310
- [ ] Vectorize memory operations in scan
- [ ] Vectorize memory operations in reduce by key
