An installed-but-broken cupy (e.g. incompatible with NumPy 2.5, which
removed the 'bool8' alias) raises a TypeError during its own import, not
an ImportError. The narrow `except ImportError` guard let that propagate
and crashed the entire node import chain.
Broaden the guard to `except Exception` in all three CUDA-kernel modules
so any import-time failure disables cupy and falls back to the
pure-PyTorch implementations.

Wraps _pytorch_softsplat and _pytorch_costvol with torch.compile
for ~6x speedup on ROCm/non-cupy setups. Falls back to eager
execution gracefully if compilation fails.

When cupy is unavailable, the costvol_func.forward() now falls back to a
pure-PyTorch implementation using unfold + dot product instead of raising
a RuntimeError. The CUDA/cupy kernel path is preserved unchanged for when
cupy is available. This allows BIM-VFI to run on systems without cupy
(including CPU-only setups), matching the pattern used for the softsplat
fallbacks in SGM-VFI and GIMM-VFI.

Update logger names, install prefixes, README clone instructions, and
error messages to reflect the new repo name. Model-specific node names
and categories (BIM-VFI, EMA-VFI, SGM-VFI) are unchanged.

cupy was imported at module level, causing ComfyUI to fail loading
the node entirely if cupy wasn't installed yet. Now deferred to
first actual CUDA kernel call, with a clear error message.

Wraps BiM-VFI (CVPR 2025) as a ComfyUI custom node for long video
frame interpolation with memory-safe sequential processing.
