Description

Currently, `candle` uses `cudarc` with the `dynamic-linking` feature, which requires the executable to find the DLLs or SOs at startup. However, it would be more convenient if `candle` also supported the `dynamic-loading` feature from `cudarc` to load DLLs or SOs at runtime.
Is it possible for `candle` to support it?

Research direction

Start by reviewing Candle's current use of cudarc's dynamic-linking feature and the dynamic-loading option described in the issue. Confirm the runtime-loading requirements and define done as Candle supporting DLL or SO loading at runtime without requiring them at executable startup.
