Tianqi Chen 1a4e037bbb [CI] Bump tvm-ffi with compatible Python wrappers (#20032)
## Summary

- bump tvm-ffi and include the device definition where its `DLDevice`
traits are instantiated
- keep only the required Tensor wrapper layout fix and register
`ir.Type` before reflected `Expr` fields can materialize a fallback
wrapper
- preserve `BaseFunc.with_attr` callers by moving only method-private
results, never the canonical `self` wrapper

## Rationale

The tvm-ffi lifetime update requires a replacement wrapper to fit the
layout already registered for the same type index. `runtime.Tensor`
replaces the core `ffi.Tensor` wrapper, so it must use empty slots. The
ordinary TVM mixins are first-registered with their concrete descendants
and may safely retain normal Python dictionaries; the additional mixin
and explicit-dictionary slot changes are not required.

Object tying also means `BaseFuncCopy(self)` may return `self`. Passing
that wrapper through `_move()` invalidates the caller. The first update
now passes the alias as an lvalue, forcing native copy-on-write to
create a private result. Only later dictionary updates move a result
that is not `self` and has not escaped the method.

## Validation

- built an exact CPython 3.12 wheel from tvm-ffi `21e30c3b1d` and
rebuilt TVM against it
- direct Type/function/detach regressions: 3 passed
- complete IR plus focused Relax coverage: 111 passed
- prior Relax failure set: 157 passed, 9 skipped
- runtime probe for `relax.Function`, `relax.ExternFunc`, and
`tirx.PrimFunc`: original wrappers preserved; single- and
multi-attribute results distinct and valid
- all touched-file pre-commit hooks passed
