- Line 523: Update the must_concatenate logic in the broadcast join setup to
also require concatenation when join_preserves_side_order(ir.options[5],
large_side) is true, where the large side is left when broadcast_side is right
and right otherwise. Preserve the existing non-Inner join condition.
- Around line 362-385: Update the chunk grouping logic before _concat in the
broadcast path to pack by accumulated row count, starting a new group before
adding any chunk that would make the group exceed CUDF_ROW_LIMIT. Replace the
absolute cumulative-endpoint grouping based on MAX_ROWS_PER_PARTITION while
preserving chunk availability handling and output ordering.

Previously, on a single GPU, if we selected a broadcast join, but the broadcasted size was above the target partition size _and_ the join was an inner join, we performed the broadcast via a cartesian product join. This can have very bad performance, since if the "small" side has many partitions (perhaps it was filtered and we didn't regroup) but just goes over the partition size limit, we do N_small_side_partitions * N_large_side_partitions tiny joins. To fix this, change the logic for deciding when to concatenate. We've already decided we're going to broadcast join, so concatenate if we would be under the libcudf row limit. In cases where splitting the the broadcast side is not allowed, but concatenation is also not possible, raise a runtime error rather than silently proceeding. Finally, for inner joins when we can't concatenate, at least group the small side partitions into larger pieces. Note that this has no effect on multi-GPU performance since that branch always concatenates (and fails if it blows through the row limit).

Could we use reserve_extra=0 if len(chunks) == 1 else size here as well? A single-chunk inner-join broadcast side can also reach this branch when its row count is within CUDF_ROW_LIMIT, including when its byte size exceeds target_partition_size.

Other than missing tests for new row limit and grouped fallback behavior, LGTM.

Description
Previously, on a single GPU, if we selected a broadcast join, but the broadcasted size was above the target partition size and the join was an inner join, we performed the broadcast via a cartesian product join. This can have very bad performance, since if the "small" side has many partitions (perhaps it was filtered and we didn't regroup) but just goes over the partition size limit, we do N_small_side_partitions * N_large_side_partitions tiny joins.
To fix this, change the logic for deciding when to concatenate. We've already decided we're going to broadcast join, so concatenate if we would be under the libcudf row limit.
In cases where splitting the the broadcast side is not allowed, but concatenation is also not possible, raise a runtime error rather than silently proceeding.
Finally, for inner joins when we can't concatenate, at least group the small side partitions into larger pieces.
Note that this has no effect on multi-GPU performance since that branch always concatenates (and fails if it blows through the row limit).
