Update ASP README to highlight default recipe

The Recipe was presented after some non-standard API calls, so moving the suggested usage up, giving it its own section, and reinforcing the suggested usage in the non-standard section.

* add flag for DistributedAdam: step_support_amp_scaling

* fuse dropout into softmax in fprop for additive mask case

- resume() is a nested function and when it loads best_prec1
  it creates a local variable that hides the one from the parent
  function (which refers to the global one). This PR adds `global`
  to modify the global variable as intended

DistributedFusedAdam Model Parallelism Support (Megatron)
Co-authored-by: Kexin Yu <kexiny@nvidia.com>

In this PR, we mainly tried to optimize the performance of Syncatchnorm and also fixed one potential issue in the welford_parallel kernel implementation.

For performance improvement, we batched the mean/var/count all_gather communication together and sent it once in the forward path
We also batch the all_reduce in backward path
We add the contiguous call on the input of welford_parallel kernel.
If there is any standard perf benchmark, I would be happy to run it.

Asp sparse param dict update

Accept custom (layer type:param name) to include in sparse_parameter …

1. Support to include in sparse_parameter_list an user-supplied custom layer type and its parameter name. This is useful when users have their own implementation of nn.Linear or nn.Conv2D. For example, huggingface repo has a custom implementation of nn.Linear called LinearActivation.
2. Print info of layers in the model that are not pruned.
