Returns a tensor with padding applied based on the input padding.

padding supports two padding structures:

Flat padding: (padding_left, padding_right, padding_top, padding_bottom, ...)
- This structure matches PyTorch's pad.
- padding length must be even.
Group padding: (..., (padding_top, padding_bottom), (padding_left, padding_right))
- This structure matches pad for JAX, NumPy, TensorFlow, and others.
- For each axis, padding can be None, meaning no padding, or a tuple (start, end).
- padding must have the same length as self.ndim.

Padding values can be negative, resulting in dimension shrinks that work similarly to Python negative slices. Padding modes is selected with mode which supports constant, reflect and replicate.
