build: Make target improvements (#7499)
* llama: wire up builtin runner

This adds a new entrypoint into the ollama CLI to run the cgo built runner.
On Mac arm64, this will have GPU support, but on all other platforms it will
be the lowest common denominator CPU build.  After we fully transition
to the new Go runners more tech-debt can be removed and we can stop building
the "default" runner via make and rely on the builtin always.

* build: Make target improvements

Add a few new targets and help for building locally.
This also adjusts the runner lookup to favor local builds, then
runners relative to the executable, and finally payloads.

* Support customized CPU flags for runners

This implements a simplified custom CPU flags pattern for the runners.
When built without overrides, the runner name contains the vector flag
we check for (AVX) to ensure we don't try to run on unsupported systems
and crash.  If the user builds a customized set, we omit the naming
scheme and don't check for compatibility.  This avoids checking
requirements at runtime, so that logic has been removed as well.  This
can be used to build GPU runners with no vector flags, or CPU/GPU
runners with additional flags (e.g. AVX512) enabled.

* Use relative paths

If the user checks out the repo in a path that contains spaces, make gets
really confused so use relative paths for everything in-repo to avoid breakage.

* Remove payloads from main binary

* install: clean up prior libraries

This removes support for v0.3.6 and older versions (before the tar bundle)
and ensures we clean up prior libraries before extracting the bundle(s).
Without this change, runners and dependent libraries could leak when we
update and lead to subtle runtime errors.

# Linux
## Install
To install Ollama, run the following command:
```shell
curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh
```
## Manual install
> [!NOTE]
> If you are upgrading from a prior version, you should remove the old libraries with `sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/ollama` first.
Download and extract the package:
```shell
curl -L https://ollama.com/download/ollama-linux-amd64.tgz -o ollama-linux-amd64.tgz
sudo tar -C /usr -xzf ollama-linux-amd64.tgz
```
Start Ollama:
```shell
ollama serve
```
In another terminal, verify that Ollama is running:
```shell
ollama -v
```
### AMD GPU install
If you have an AMD GPU, also download and extract the additional ROCm package:
```shell
curl -L https://ollama.com/download/ollama-linux-amd64-rocm.tgz -o ollama-linux-amd64-rocm.tgz
sudo tar -C /usr -xzf ollama-linux-amd64-rocm.tgz
```
### ARM64 install
Download and extract the ARM64-specific package:
```shell
curl -L https://ollama.com/download/ollama-linux-arm64.tgz -o ollama-linux-arm64.tgz
sudo tar -C /usr -xzf ollama-linux-arm64.tgz
```
### Adding Ollama as a startup service (recommended)
Create a user and group for Ollama:
```shell
sudo useradd -r -s /bin/false -U -m -d /usr/share/ollama ollama
sudo usermod -a -G ollama $(whoami)
```
Create a service file in `/etc/systemd/system/ollama.service`:
```ini
[Unit]
Description=Ollama Service
After=network-online.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/ollama serve
User=ollama
Group=ollama
Restart=always
RestartSec=3
Environment="PATH=$PATH"
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
```
Then start the service:
```shell
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable ollama
```
### Install CUDA drivers (optional)
[Download and install](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads) CUDA.
Verify that the drivers are installed by running the following command, which should print details about your GPU:
```shell
nvidia-smi
```
### Install AMD ROCm drivers (optional)
[Download and Install](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/install-on-linux/en/latest/tutorial/quick-start.html) ROCm v6.
### Start Ollama
Start Ollama and verify it is running:
```shell
sudo systemctl start ollama
sudo systemctl status ollama
```
> [!NOTE]
> While AMD has contributed the `amdgpu` driver upstream to the official linux
> kernel source, the version is older and may not support all ROCm features. We
> recommend you install the latest driver from
> https://www.amd.com/en/support/linux-drivers for best support of your Radeon
> GPU.
## Customizing
To customize the installation of Ollama, you can edit the systemd service file or the environment variables by running:
```
sudo systemctl edit ollama
```
Alternatively, create an override file manually in `/etc/systemd/system/ollama.service.d/override.conf`:
```ini
[Service]
Environment="OLLAMA_DEBUG=1"
```
## Updating
Update Ollama by running the install script again:
```shell
curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh
```
Or by re-downloading Ollama:
```shell
curl -L https://ollama.com/download/ollama-linux-amd64.tgz -o ollama-linux-amd64.tgz
sudo tar -C /usr -xzf ollama-linux-amd64.tgz
```
## Installing specific versions
Use `OLLAMA_VERSION` environment variable with the install script to install a specific version of Ollama, including pre-releases. You can find the version numbers in the [releases page](https://github.com/ollama/ollama/releases).
For example:
```shell
curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | OLLAMA_VERSION=0.3.9 sh
```
## Viewing logs
To view logs of Ollama running as a startup service, run:
```shell
journalctl -e -u ollama
```
## Uninstall
Remove the ollama service:
```shell
sudo systemctl stop ollama
sudo systemctl disable ollama
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/ollama.service
```
Remove the ollama binary from your bin directory (either `/usr/local/bin`, `/usr/bin`, or `/bin`):
```shell
sudo rm $(which ollama)
```
Remove the downloaded models and Ollama service user and group:
```shell
sudo rm -r /usr/share/ollama
sudo userdel ollama
sudo groupdel ollama
```
