experimental support for data-parallel inference with torchrun
Note the data load balancing and distribution is done out of the vllm engine,
no internal lb supported in external_launcher mode.

To run this example:
```bash
$ torchrun --nproc-per-node=2 examples/offline_inference/torchrun_dp_example.py
```

With custom parallelism settings:
```bash
$ torchrun --nproc-per-node=8 examples/offline_inference/torchrun_dp_example.py \
    --tp-size=2 --pp-size=1 --dp-size=4 --enable-ep
```

Further tips:

1. to communicate control messages across all ranks, use the cpu group,
a PyTorch ProcessGroup with GLOO backend.

```python
from vllm.distributed.parallel_state import get_world_group
cpu_group = get_world_group().cpu_group
torch_rank = dist.get_rank(group=cpu_group)
if torch_rank == 0:
    # do something for rank 0, e.g. saving the results to disk.
```

2. to communicate data across all ranks, use the model's device group,
a PyTorch ProcessGroup with NCCL backend.
```python
from vllm.distributed.parallel_state import get_world_group
device_group = get_world_group().device_group
```

3. to access the model directly in every rank, use the following code:
```python
llm.llm_engine.model_executor.driver_worker.worker.model_runner.model
```
