Subject: [PATCH] fix(sherpa-onnx): install cuDNN in the CUDA builder so the
 package can bundle it (#11145)

sherpa-onnx links onnxruntime's CUDA execution provider, and
libonnxruntime_providers_cuda.so carries cuDNN as a hard DT_NEEDED. The
onnxruntime GPU tarball ships no cuDNN of its own, and Dockerfile.golang
only installs libcudnn9 on the arm64 + CUDA 13 branch, so the amd64 CUDA
builders have none at all.

Since #10946 added the packaging guard, that combination is fatal rather
than silent: package-gpu-libs.sh reports 'cuDNN: venv=absent system=absent
-> bundle=detect', correctly detects the reference, finds nothing to copy
and refuses to emit the package. Both -gpu-nvidia-cuda-12-sherpa-onnx and
-gpu-nvidia-cuda-13-sherpa-onnx have failed to build since 2026-07-19, so
neither image has been published. Before the guard existed they shipped
without cuDNN and failed at load time instead.

Install the runtime package for this backend only. The auto-detection
bundles solely what a package references, so no other backend would grow,
but every Go CUDA builder would pay ~1.1 GB of layer and registry cache
for a library ggml never calls.
