This pull request updates the handling of the default flag buffer in the
C++ and Python bindings to ensure proper memory management when
interfacing with Python.
Make sure the buffer will not be deallocated when transfer ownership
from cpp to python
This PR refactors the algorithm selection logic in MSCCL++ and
introduces support for symmetric memory configuration through
environment variables.
1. Algorithm Selection Refactoring
Use separate class for algo selection. Could introduce more complex
logic for algo selection based on message size, arch, if cuda graph is
enabled and memory allocation method
2. Symmetric Memory Support
Introduced symmetricMemory parameter in algorithm context key
generation. Remove disableChannelCache env as is ambiguous
3. Add new args for build_default_algorithms
Add flag_buffer, and flag_buffer_size args to build default algorithm.
Then we could use unified flag buffer for different algorithms, avoid
application hanging when switch algo for different message size.

* Added configurable InfiniBand (IB) signaling mode.
`EndpointConfig::Ib::Mode` enum selects the mode (`Default`, `Host`,
`HostNoAtomic`). `Default` is equivalent to `Host` unless specified
different by envrionment `MSCCLPP_IBV_MODE`. `Host` corresponds to the
previous implementation using RDMA atomics for signaling, while
`HostNoAtomic` uses write-with-immediate instead.
* Regarding updates in Python bindings and API.
* Now `NvlsConnection` internally reuses `GpuIpcMem` for multicast
memory handling.
* Removed unnecessary barriers from `connectNvlsCollective()` (CUDA API
handles this automatically).
* Updated `GpuIpcMem::map()` and `GpuIpcMem::mapMulticast()` to return a
shared pointer with custom deleter for unmapping, which prevents misuse
of raw pointers and reduces states to be stored in the `GpuIpcMem`
instance.
* Now for `RuntimeIpc` type handles, for consistency with other types,
`cudaIpcOpenMemHandle` will be called in `GpuIpcMem::map()` instead of
the ctor of `GpuIpcMem`.

* Added `port` and `gidIndex` field in the IB endpoint config (and
`deviceIndex` field for future usages)
* Added `MSCCLPP_IBV_SO` env variable to specify a custom libibverbs.so
* Added `--ib_gid_index` CLI option to `mp_unit_tests`
* Other minor fixes
Minimal fix to make things work. We need a more careful look at
preventing silent fallback of nanobind when it fails to (properly)
construct a C++ STL object with mscclpp instances.
The key purpose is handling all mscclpp objects' memory internally by
hiding shared pointers from user APIs.
* `Connection` class is now a wrapper of `BaseConnection` class that is
equivalent to the previous `Connection` class
* `connect()` methods now return `Connection` instead of
`std::shared_ptr<Connection>`
* Removed `connectOnSetup()` method
Provides two integration ways for MSCCL++ DSL.
1. Integrate with customized communication group
2. Integrate with NCCL API
Introduce new Python APIs to make it work:
```python
mscclpp.compile # compile dsl to json based execution plan
mscclpp.ExecutionPlanRegistry.register_plan(plan) # register the compiled plan to executionPlanRegistery
mscclpp.ExecutionPlanRegistry.set_selector(selector) # set the selector, the selector will return the best execution plan based on collection, message size, world size....
```
Fix#556
