Add _transfer_layers_async: submit each layer's transfer non-blocking via the
async API (batch_transfer_async_submit), pipelining layers in the RDMA engine,
then wait for all once (wait_batch_transfers). Gated by the new
SGLANG_CP_SHARED_KV_PER_LAYER_TRANSFER env (default off); replaces the monolithic
all-layers batch_transfer_sync on that path. This is the transfer mechanism for
per-layer overlap (lever A) and removes the per-layer blocking-sync tax measured
in B1a; the forward-overlap hook (G2) builds on it next. Uses the safe async API,
never the OnCuda busy-wait/_exit path.
Unit-tested (test_per_layer_transfer.py, 5 cases): one submit per non-empty layer,
single wait-for-all, empty-layer skip, submit-failure drain + return -1, and
wait-status propagation.
