Integrate TorchFT

**Summary**
This is a WIP TorchFT integration PR.

**Current Issues**

This doesn't work at this moment as there are hanged groups when a new
group joins.

**Issue 1:**
~Group 0 and group 1 will hang during the first `should_commit` after
group 1 applying the pending state_dict from group 0.~

Fixed with: pytorch/torchft#83

**Issue 2:**
~Group 0 and group 1 will pass the `should_commit` but group 0 needs
healing which is wrong and the healing process will cause another hang.~

Fixed with: pytorch/torchft#83

**Issue 3:**
~The byproduct of issue 1 and issue 2: group 1 will continue to print
out~
```

socketProgress: Connection closed by remote peer
devgpu051.cln3.svc.fbinfra.net<33618>
```

Fixed with pytorch/torchft#91 and several other
fixes.

**Issue 4:**
When there are 3 groups, everyone requests the state dict every step.
***How to reproduce?***
Using the `Reproduce steps` to run 2 groups, then add another group by
modifying the command.

Seems to be fixed, will need more tests.

**Issue 5:**
Hang will happen if using functional collective.
***How to reproduce?***
Pull the latest version of this PR and comment out line 41 and uncomment
line 42 in `torchtitan/utils.py`

**Reproduce steps:**

1. Patch TorchFT with pytorch/torchft#82
2. Execute lighthouse
3. Execute the following command in one terminal:
```
TORCHFT_MANAGER_PORT=29520 REPLICA_GROUP_ID=0 CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1
NGPU=2 ./run_llama_train.sh --training.data_parallel_shard_degree=2
--experimental.enable_torchft --experimental.ft_replica_group_id=0
```
4. Wait 10 seconds, execute following command in another terminal:
```
TORCHFT_MANAGER_PORT=29522 REPLICA_GROUP_ID=1 CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=2,3
NGPU=2 ./run_llama_train.sh --training.data_parallel_shard_degree=2
--experimental.enable_torchft --experimental.ft_replica_group_id=1
```
