[GPT-OSS] improve FSDP shard merging and documentation for GPT-OSS (#3073)

* improve fsdp shard merging

* improve logging

* update information on merging and inferencing GPT-OSS

* cleanup readme

* automate cleanup of FSDP prefix

* import GRPO only if necessary

* only modify config.json on rank0

* merge final checkpoint at end of training

* prevent circular import

* Fix saving for sharded state dict

* devx, move merged to output dir

* move import back to top

* Fix stuck merge

* fix conditionals from pr feedback and add test

### Training 120B
On 8xH100s
On 8xH100s, make sure you have ~3TB of free disk space. With each checkpoint clocking in at ~720GB, along with the base
model, and final model output, you may need at least 3TB of free disk space to keep at least 2 checkpoints.
```bash
# FFT SFT with offloading (8x80GB @ ~49GiB/GPU)
axolotl train examples/gpt-oss/gpt-oss-120b-fft-fsdp2-offload.yaml
```
ERRATA: Transformers saves the model Architecture prefixed with `FSDP` which needs to be manually renamed in `config.json`.
See https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/40207 for the status of this issue.
```bash
sed -i 's/FSDPGptOssForCausalLM/GptOssForCausalLM/g' ./outputs/gpt-oss-out/config.json
```
When using SHARDED_STATE_DICT with FSDP, the final checkpoint should automatically merge the sharded weights to your
configured `output_dir`. However, if that step fails due to a disk space error, you can take an additional step to
merge the sharded weights. This step will automatically determine the last checkpoint directory and merge the sharded
weights to `{output_dir}/merged`.
```bash
axolotl merge-sharded-fsdp-weights examples/gpt-oss/gpt-oss-120b-fft-fsdp2-offload.yaml
mv ./outputs/gpt-oss-out/merged/* ./outputs/gpt-oss-out/
```
### Inferencing your fine-tuned model
GPT-OSS support in vLLM does not exist in a stable release yet. See https://x.com/MaziyarPanahi/status/1955741905515323425
for more information about using a special vllm-openai docker image for inferencing with vLLM.
SGLang has 0-day support in main, see https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/issues/8833 for infomation on installing
SGLang from source. Once you've installed SGLang, run the following command to launch a SGLang server:
```bash
python3 -m sglang.launch_server --model ./outputs/gpt-oss-out/ --served-model-name axolotl/gpt-oss-120b --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8888 --tp 8
```
### Tool use
GPT-OSS has a comprehensive tool understanding. Axolotl supports tool calling datasets for Supervised Fine-tuning.
