bump transformers and set roundup_power2_divisions for more VRAM improvements, low bit ao optimizers (#1769)

* bump transformers and set roundup_power2_divisions for more VRAM improvements

* support for low bit optimizers from torch ao

* fix check for alternate optimizers and use nous models on hf for llama3

* add missing check for ao_adamw_fp8

* fix check when using custom optimizers w adamw
