[transformer] Fuse grad accumulation with wgrad (#1297)

* fuse grad accumulation w/ weight grad
Co-authored-by: Sangkug Lym <slym@nvidia.com>

* fp32 training path

* not using *args, **kwargs

* backward: moved the tensor dimension cnversion
Co-authored-by: Sangkug Lym <slym@nvidia.com>

* move files to csrc/megatron

* fix fp32 path

* fix typo

* add  to  in order to select the correct custom extension

* fix typo

* comment on import guard

* update test: enable gradient_accumulation_fusion

* 86

* remove redundant call of `test_column_parallel_linear`
