[JAX] Fixes for CI failures with the latest JAX (#1469)

* fixes L1 test

* fix test_multigpu_encoder

* fixes for other multi-encoder tests

* jax.extend.ffi to jax.ffi

* initialization with float32

* add init_dtype as an optional arg to all modules

* update use_scan query from xla flags

* relax threshold for test_encoder fp8

* relax the tols
