Extend health checks to gather and report environment information for bug reports

[coderabbitai]

Overview

As a follow-up to #7854, extend the cuml.health_checks module to collect and present standardized environment information. This would allow users to simply run python -m cuml.health_checks and include the output in bug reports, replacing the verbose manual environment checklist.

Motivation

Currently, the bug report template asks contributors to manually collect:

• Environment location (bare-metal, Docker, Cloud)
• Linux distro/architecture
• GPU model and driver version
• CUDA version
• Method of cuML install (conda, Docker, source) with version details

This is a barrier to filing good bug reports. A single command that gathers this information in a standardized, well-formatted way would lower that barrier significantly.

Proposed Work

• Add an environment information collector to cuml.health_checks that gathers:
  • CUDA version and compatibility with installed cuML
  • GPU model and driver version
  • Linux distro and architecture
  • cuML version and installation method
  • Other relevant RAPIDS component versions
• Surface known incompatible or broken version combinations as actionable warnings
• Update the bug report template to reference python -m cuml.health_checks instead of the manual checklist
