feat(train): add accelerate for multi gpu training (#2154)

* Enhance training and logging functionality with accelerator support

- Added support for multi-GPU training by introducing an `accelerator` parameter in training functions.
- Updated `update_policy` to handle gradient updates based on the presence of an accelerator.
- Modified logging to prevent duplicate messages in non-main processes.
- Enhanced `set_seed` and `get_safe_torch_device` functions to accommodate accelerator usage.
- Updated `MetricsTracker` to account for the number of processes when calculating metrics.
- Introduced a new feature in `pyproject.toml` for the `accelerate` library dependency.

* Initialize logging in training script for both main and non-main processes

- Added `init_logging` calls to ensure proper logging setup when using the accelerator and in standard training mode.
- This change enhances the clarity and consistency of logging during training sessions.

* add docs and only push model once

* Place  logging under accelerate and update docs

* fix pre commit

* only log in main process

* main logging

* try with local rank

* add tests

* change runner

* fix test

* dont push to hub in multi gpu tests

* pre download dataset in tests

* small fixes

* fix path optimizer state

* update docs, and small improvements in train

* simplify accelerate main process detection

* small improvements in train

* fix OOM bug

* change accelerate detection

* add some debugging

* always use accelerate

* cleanup update method

* cleanup

* fix bug

* scale lr decay if we reduce steps

* cleanup logging

* fix formatting

* encorperate feedback pr

* add min memory to cpu tests

* use accelerate to determin logging

* fix precommit and fix tests

* chore: minor details
