Disable concurrency for AMD + Windows

Until ROCm v6.2 ships, we wont be able to get accurate free memory
reporting on windows, which makes automatic concurrency too risky.
Users can still opt-in but will need to pay attention to model sizes otherwise they may thrash/page VRAM or cause OOM crashes.
All other platforms and GPUs have accurate VRAM reporting wired
up now, so we can turn on concurrency by default.
