Support Transformer Engine FP8 in existing PyTorch BERT/GPT2 models by
converting linear/layernorm to TE layers.

Fix potential barrier timeout in init_process_group due to race
condition of using the same port. Change to different ports when running
multiple models sequentially in one process.
For example, when running vgg11/13/16/19, will use port 29501~29504
respectively.

Support FP8 in PyTorch BERT models:

* add fp8 hybrid/e4m3/e5m2 in precision arguments
* build BERT encoders with `te.TransformerLayer` to repalce
`transformers.BertModel`
* wrap forward steps with fp8 autocast

**Description**
Add stdout logging util module and enable real-time logging flushing in executor

**Major Revision**
- Add stdout logging util module to redirect stdout into file log
- enable stdout logging in executor to write benchmark output into both stdout and file `sb-bench.log`
- enable real-time log flushing in run_command of microbenchmarks through config `log_flushing`

**Minor Revision**
- add log_n_step args to enable regular step time log in model benchmarks 
- udpate related docs

**Description**
Use config `log_raw_data` to control whether log the raw data into file or not. The default value is `no`. We can set it as `yes` for some particular benchmarks to save the raw data into file, such as NCCL/RCCL test.

**Description**
Remove fp16 samples type converting time for training cnn and lstm inference.

**Description**
Remove fp16  samples type converting time for cnn and lstm models.

**Description**
The BatchNorm operator is not numerically stable in fp16.  PyTorch documentation recommends to keep the BN op in fp32 for fp16 AMP models.  Refer to https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/amp.html#ops-that-can-autocast-to-float32.  Preserving BN in fp32 for superbench more accurately reflects real workloads.

**Description**
Add support for pytorch>=1.9.0 of init_process_group.

**Major Revision**
- Use PrefixStore(TCPStore) to init_process_group manully for each model run

**Description**
Please write a brief description and link the related issue if have.

**Major Revision**
- Sync (do allreduce max) the E2E training results among all workers.
- Avoid using ':0' in metric name if there has only one rank having output.

**Description**
Add 50th, 90th, 95th, 99th, 99.9th latency metrics for ORT and pytorch inference benchmarks.

Add transformers for TensorRT inference.

**Description**
Unify metric names of benchmarks.

**Description**
Fix typo when set force_fp32 option.

**Description**
Add option `force_fp32` to use fp32 instead of tf32, only takes effect on Ampere or newer GPUs.
