Closes rapidsai#14384. `x.startswith(y)` is not a good enough check for if `x` is a subdirectory of `y`. It causes `pandasai` to be reported as a sub-package of `pandas`.

Adds a new BytePairEncoding class to cuDF
```
>>> import cudf
>>> from cudf.core.byte_pair_encoding import BytePairEncoder
>>> mps = cudf.read_text('merges.txt', delimiter='\n', strip_delimiters=True)
>>> bpe = BytePairEncoder(mps)
>>> str_series = cudf.Series(['This is a sentence', 'thisisit'])
>>> bpe(str_series)
0    This is a sent ence
1             this is it
dtype: object
```
This class wraps the existing `nvtext::byte_pair_encoding` APIs to load the merge-pairs data and encode a column of strings.

Fixes a bug introduced in rapidsai#14336 when trying to simplify the token-counting logic as per this discussion rapidsai#14336 (comment)
The simplification caused an error which was found when running the nvtext benchmarks.
The appropriate gtest has been updated to cover this case now.

Issue rapidsai#14325

Use uint when reading/writing nano stats because nanoseconds have int32 encoding (different from both unit32 and sint32, _obviously_), which does not use zigzag. 
sint32 uses zigzag, and unit32 does not allow negative numbers, so we can use uint since we'll never have negative nanoseconds.

Also disabled the nanoseconds because it should only be written after ORC-135; we don't write the version so readers get confused if nanoseconds are there. Planning to re-enable once we start writing the version.

rapidsai#14407 added a dask dependency to custreamz, but it added too tight of a pinning by requiring the exact same version. This is not valid because rapids-dask-dependency won't release a new version corresponding to each new cudf release, so pinning to the exact same version up to the alpha creates an unsatisfiable constraint.
