*
* For example, a Conv kernel can define this function to pack input W to the channel-last data layout
* before inference.
*
* Pre-packing can operate in three different modes: no pre-packing mode, sharing mode, and non-sharing mode.
* 1) No pre-packing mode: The kernel can forgo any weight pre-packing for the given `input_index` by setting
* `is_packed` to false and returning a successful OrtStatus. In this mode, the kernel's
* OrtKernelImpl::SetSharedPrePackedWeight() function is not called for that specific
* `input_index`.
* 2) Sharing mode: Sharing is allowed if the `prepacked_weight_cache` argument is not NULL and the EP stores
* weight data in CPU-accessible memory. In this case, the kernel can optionally choose
* to share the packed weight with other kernels that use the same weight
* (compared by content hash). To do so, the kernel must allocate the packed weight with the
* provided `allocator`, then it stores the packed weight data into `prepacked_weight_cache`
* via SharedPrePackedWeightCache_StoreWeightData(), sets `is_packed` to true, and returns a
* successful OrtStatus. ORT will subsequently call OrtKernelImpl::SetSharedPrePackedWeight()
* to provide this kernel with the actual shared weight data, whose memory location could
* differ (i.e., if shared data was allocated by a previously processed kernel).
* 3) Non-sharing mode: In non-sharing mode, the `prepacked_weight_cache` argument is ignored. In this mode,
* the implementation allocates the packed data with the provided `allocator`, sets
* `is_packed` to true, and returns a successful OrtStatus. The kernel is ultimately
* responsible for releasing the packed data for the weight with `allocator`.
* ORT may release the original (unpacked) weight, which must not be accessed in
* OrtKernelImpl::Compute(). Note that in this mode, the kernel's
* OrtKernelImpl::SetSharedPrePackedWeight() function is not called by ORT for that specific
* `input_index`.
*
* \note This function is based on the internal OpKernel::PrePack() virtual function used within ORT.
*
* \param[in] this_ptr The OrtKernelImpl instance.
* \param[in] tensor The OrtValue instance representing the constant tensor (weight). Do not cache in the kernel.

* recommended, but not required, in the non-sharing mode. This will be an allocator set by
* the application for the session/environment (e.g., via CreateAndRegisterAllocator[V2]
* or RegisterAllocator), or an allocator on the OrtEpDevice (read-only or default) otherwise.
* The allocator remains valid throughout the lifetime of the OrtKernelImpl instance.
* \param[in] prepacked_weight_cache May be NULL. If not NULL, the kernel may choose to share a packed weight by
* first storing it in the OrtSharedPrePackedWeightCache instance and then
* receiving the actual shared weight data in the call to
* OrtKernelImpl::SetSharedPrePackedWeight(). See the above description for

*
* This function is used when running inference on a model that contains EP-specific custom operations.
*
* Workflow:
* 1. The EP factory implements this function to supply a list of OrtCustomOpDomain instances.
* 2. The application either 1) calls SessionOptionsAppendExecutionProvider_V2() with an OrtEpDevice containing
* the plugin EP's factory or 2) enables auto ep selection.
* 3. 1) SessionOptionsAppendExecutionProvider_V2() appends the provided OrtCustomOpDomains to the
* session options or 2) ORT registers the OrtCustomOpDomains provided by the EP devices
* that could be potentially selected.
*
* As a result, any session created from these session options will have these custom op domains registered
* in ORT, ensuring that the custom ops are properly recognized and validated when the model is loaded.
*
* Plugin EPs can provide two types of custom ops:
* 1. A full OrtCustomOp with a concrete kernel implementation
* - A Plugin EP can supply an OrtCustomOp and a corresponding CustomKernel::Compute() implementation.
* - In GetCapability(), it calls EpGraphSupportInfo_AddSingleNode() to inform ORT
* that the custom node should NOT be fused or compiled. Instead, ORT should invoke
* the custom node's Compute() function at runtime.
*
* 2. A "placeholder" OrtCustomOp with an empty kernel implementation
* - A compile-based Plugin EP can supply an OrtCustomOp whose CustomKernel::Compute()
* does nothing. The purpose is to satisfy model validation during model loading by
* registering the custom op as a valid operator in the session.
* - In GetCapability(), the EP should call EpGraphSupportInfo_AddNodesToFuse() to
* notify ORT that this custom node should be fused and compiled by the EP.
* - In Compile(), the EP executes its compiled bits to perform inference for
* the fused custom node.
*
* Note: The OrtCustomOpDomain instances must be valid while any session is using them.
EP factory has the responsibility to release OrtCustomOpDomain instances it creates. It happens
* automatically if using the C++ Ort::CustomOpDomain class.
*
* \param[in] this_ptr The OrtEpFactory instance.
* \param[out] domains Array of `num_domains` elements pre-allocated by ORT that should be filled with
