Adds opt-in deterministic training mode to SuperBench's PyTorch model
benchmarks. When enabled --enable-determinism. PyTorch deterministic
algorithms are enforced, and per-step numerical fingerprints (loss,
activation means) are recorded as metrics. These can be compared across
runs using the existing sb result diagnosis pipeline to verify bit-exact
reproducibility — useful for hardware validation and platform
comparison.
 
Flags added - 

--enable-determinism
--check-frequency: Number of steps after which you want the metrics to
be recorded
--deterministic-seed

Changes - 

Updated pytorch_base.py to handle deterministic settings, logging.
Added a new example script: pytorch_deterministic_example.py
Added a test file: test_pytorch_determinism_all.py to verify everything
works as expected.

Usage - 

Step 1: Run 1 - Run with --enable-determinism and the necessary metrics
will be recorded in the results-summary.jsonl file
Step 2: Generate the baseline file from the Run 1 results using - sb
result generate-baseline
Step 3: Run 2 - Run with --enable-determinism and the necessary metrics
will be recorded in the results-summary.jsonl file on a different
machine (or the same machine)
Step 4: Run diagnosis on the results generated from the 2 runs using the
- sb result diagnosis command

Note - 
1. Make sure all the parameters are constant between the 2 runs 
2. Running the diagnosis command requires the rules.yaml file
