Add MULTI_REDUCE and HISTOGRAM Kernels
Add the MULTI_REDUCE and HISTOGRAM kernels which look at the performance for reducing into a runtime number of bins. In MULTI_REDUCE each iterate contributes to a single bin in the output like a histogram. HISTOGRAM allows us to have a comparison point with GPU performance libraries like cub and rocprim.
Which iterate maps to which bin is currently random, but this is not really a realistic use case. More realistic use cases are contiguous chunks of the domain mapping to the same bin, or even the entire domain mapping to a single bin.
The CPU parallel implementations are not optimized and simple use atomics into an array with no replication.
