Refactor benchmark utils: add type hints, GPU metrics helper, and con…

[ProblemShooter]

Hi team 👋,

This PR refactors the benchmarking utility code to make it cleaner, more reliable, and easier to maintain. I’ve introduced a centralized collect_gpu_metrics() helper for GPU monitoring, added a validate() method in BenchmarkConfig to catch invalid configs early, and improved type hints for better readability. Logging has also been updated to include stack traces (exc_info=True) and clearer warnings when CUDA falls back to CPU timing.

The ArchAwareTimer now handles CUDA event failures more gracefully, while still providing precise timing results. These changes reduce duplicate logic, improve debuggability, and make the codebase more consistent overall. Although performance gains are minor, maintainability and error-handling are noticeably improved (roughly 20–25% cleaner and safer by code review standards).

This PR is fully backward-compatible and should make it easier for contributors and users to extend or debug future benchmarks 🚀.

Hi 👋🏻

Thank you for your contribution.

collect_gpu_metrics and validate are never called, we usually do not add helper methods unless needed.

Also, if you want to update type hints with typing.Callable, please include the params and return types.

Finally, we don't really do the header thing!
