needs tested with PP and TP, since we'd be relying on two external codebases (deepspeed for PP, TE for TP) whose topologies probably don't play nicely together.

this should probably instead be latest deeperspeed. Can't hardcode the arch list.

This is a sketch of using the attention picking mechanism ("global", "flash", NEW: "TE") to use the high level TransformerLayer from TransformerEngine. This is more of a prototype to show that integration with deepspeed is possible and what perf to expect.
Things that work:
Many aspects are hardcoded, e.g. RoPE and activation checkpointing can not be reconfigured from the config files. #1282 is much more elaborate in that it exposes TE layers on a much lower level. Meanwhile this PR could serve as a benchmark, showing what is possible with TE on a classic GPT2 style network.
I kept the implementation as minimal as possible, there is room for further performance depending on the workload. There is e.g. sequence parallelism and different memory layouts.
The dockerfile now uses a later ngc pytorch container and installs a later deepspeed tag from source for compatibility.
