[BUG]: cugraph relies on cudf._lib.transform, which no longer exists

Which installation method(s) does this occur on?

No response

Describe the bug.

On #4805, noticed cugraph pytests failing like this:

AttributeError: module 'cudf._lib' has no attribute 'transform'

(build link)

This is probably a result of rapidsai/cudf#17505

Besides just fixing this, think it'd be worth talking with @mroeschke about the plans for other changes to cudf._lib in this release cycle, so cugraph can get out ahead of them.

Code of Conduct

• I agree to follow cuGraph's Code of Conduct

This should be closed by #4758

(Throughout cugraph, this is the only usage of cudf._lib that I found)

oooooh I hadn't made the connection between this and that PR!

Thanks for re-targeting that to 25.02.
