      Add env. var. for efficient text-generation in inference (#214) · 68f60b89

* Dynamically-generated causal attention mask (for ONNX export)

TE's default causal mask is square (seq_len, seq_len) and is
dynamically allocated for different sequence sizes. Dynamic
allocation and dictionary lookups are not supported by ONNX.
GPT generative phase uses rectangular masks.

This commit forces softmax to use `forward_torch_softmax` and
to dynamically generate an attention mask when exporting to ONNX.
The mask is generated w/o using conditional control-flow by generating
a  (k_seq_len, k_seq_len) mask and slicing it to (q_seq_len, k_seq_len)

An alternate implementation is to pre-allocate a mask of shape
(max_seq, max_seq) and to slice that. This solution is more performant
at the expense of space, but the problem is the TE doesn't have a concept
of max_seq.

* Add to test_export_softmax a test for te.softmax.FusedScaleMaskSoftmax.
* Add test_softmax_mask_fn to test that TE's default attention mask and
the new ONNX-compatible mask produce the same behavior.
* Add test_export_gpt_generation to test that the ONNX model can correctly
handle inputs with different shapes and that the attention mask it adjusted
on-the-fly to different sequence lengths.

Misc:
* Add a PRNG seeding fixture for more stability in tests.
* Add dynamic shapes for ONNX input/output tests.
* Allow validate_result to compare ORT output to pre-computed TE outputs.

* Add NVTE_ONNX_KVCACHE_MAX_SEQ_LEN for efficient text-generation in inference

* Introduce an environment variable (NVTE_ONNX_KVCACHE_MAX_SEQ_LEN) to set the maximum sequence length.
In ONNX inference with KV-Cache optimizations for GPT text generation, the attention mask shape can be square (context-phase) or rectangular (generation-phase).
When exporting to ONNX and this variable is set, TE preallocates an upper triangular (k=1) matrix with a size as prescribed by the variable, and dynamically slices the mask for the required shape.
TE models can be exported to ONNX when NVTE_ONNX_KVCACHE_MAX_SEQ_LEN is not configured, but the attention masking is always square and not fit for efficient text generation.

* Work-around torch.onnx.export bug that incorrectly folds
layer_norm(data, scale=add(gamma,1)) to layer_norm(data, scale=gamma)
when we use LN with zero-centered gamma.

* ONNX export tests
  * Add a fixture (seed_default_rng) to seed the PRNG
  * Add a fixture (set_max_seq_len) to set the max sequence length when exporting to ONNX for GPT text generation
