cpu: simplify comments and reduce code duplication

- scaled_embedding_bag.cpp: remove unused <c10/util/Unroll.h> include;
  shorten 8-line block comment to 3 lines; shorten 2-line comments to
  1 line throughout; move PREFETCH_DIST inside the kHasAVX512 branch
  where it is used; fix preprocessor imbalance (remove orphan #endif
  left by a prior removal of #if __GNUC__ >= 15).

- utils.h: compress 2-line comments to 1 line each.

- quantized_sdpa.cpp: compress 3-line forward-decl comment to 1 line;
  remove 3-line AVX512-section comment body (keep the === marker);
  compress 2-line inline comments to 1 line each.

- setup.py: extract _resolve_cxx() helper to avoid the duplicated
  'os.environ.get(CXX) or find_preferred_cxx_compiler() or g++'
  pattern in filter_sources and precompile_isa_objects; shorten
  find_preferred_cxx_compiler by flattening the two-step if-chain to
  a single return expression; shorten add_compile_flags, get_link_flags,
  and precompile_isa_objects docstrings.
