Migrate HFDeepSpeedConfig from trfrs to accelerate (#17623)

* Migrate HFDeepSpeedConfig from trfrs to accelerate

* add `accelerate` to testing dep

* addressing comments

* addressing comments

Using `_shared_state` and avoiding object creation. This is necessary as `notebook_launcher` in `launcers.py` checks `len(AcceleratorState._shared_state)>0` to throw an error.

* resolving comments

1. Use simple API from accelerate to manage the deepspeed config integration
2. Update the related documentation

* reverting changes and addressing comments

* docstring correction

* addressing nits

* addressing nits

* addressing nits 3

* bumping up the accelerate version to 0.10.0

* resolving import

* update setup.py to include deepspeed dependencies

* Update dependency_versions_table.py

* fixing imports

* reverting changes to CI dependencies for "run_tests_pipelines_tf*" tests

These changes didn't help with resolving the failures and I believe this needs to be addressed in another PR.

* removing `accelerate` as hard dependency

Resolves issues related to CI Tests

* adding `accelerate` as dependency for building docs

resolves failure in Build PR Documentation test

* adding `accelerate` as dependency in "dev" to resolve doc build issue

* resolving comments

1. adding `accelerate` to extras["all"]
2. Including check for accelerate too before import HFDeepSpeedConfig from there
