feat(mlx-distributed): add new MLX-distributed backend (#8801)
* feat(mlx-distributed): add new MLX-distributed backend Add new MLX distributed backend with support for both TCP and RDMA for model sharding. This implementation ties in the discovery implementation already in place, and re-uses the same P2P mechanism for the TCP MLX-distributed inferencing. The Auto-parallel implementation is inspired by Exo's ones (who have been added to acknowledgement for the great work!)
