    This function will run the followings in the order provided:
        1) initialize Megatron.
        2) setup model, optimizer and lr schedule using the model_provider.
        3) call train_val_test_data_provider to get train/val/test datasets.
        4) train the modle using the forward_step_func.

    Arguments:
        train_valid_test_dataset_provider: a function that takes the size of
            train/valid/test dataset and returns `train, valid, test` datasets.
        model_provider: a function that returns a vanilla version of the
            model. By vanilla we mean a simple model on cpu with no fp16 or ddp.
        forward_step_func: a function that takes a `data iterator` and `model`,
            and returns a `loss` scalar with a dictionary with key:values being
            the info we would like to monitor during training, for example
            `lm-loss: value`. We also require that this function add
            `batch generator` to the timers class.
        extra_args_provider: a function that takes a parser and adds arguments
            to it. It is used for programs to add their own arguments.
        args_defaults: a dictionary from argument-name to argument-value. It
            to set already parse arguments.
