add multimodal support

[nph4rd]

Adds multimodal support. Main changes are:

• accept a data_collator. I think this is useful because different VLMs have different processing requirements/tooling. For instance, in the case of Qwen, you can use qwen_vl_utils to handle resizing, etc.
• prompts are formatted with format_oai_chat_msg for the rollouts. This handles encoding them as base64 imgs for the API, but leaves the image objects for further processing later on.
• process_chat_format now has two branches: the multimodal case uses the processing_class to get the all the extra inputs necessary. These vary from model to model, so they are generically captured by remaining_inputs. I'm still unsure this is the best way to handle that, but this works.
• updates many references to processing_class. This can now be either a multimodal processor (with the tokenizer attr) or a tokenizer in the text-only case.
• handle conditional logits_to_keep. Not all models accept this.
• added a generic_model_loader function to load models without handling specific classes (like Qwen2_5_VLForConditionalGeneration )
• added logic to handle the Liger-Kernel patching of models that are not supported with AutoLigerKernelForCausalLM
• added an example with Qwen2.5-VL, using DocVQA

Notes:

• transformers changed the weight keys for VLMs. I added a version restriction for now, but should fix this too in the future. See this.
• I tested gemma3 too. It works ok in the 1+1 GPU case (see this) but I've been getting some strange errors when using either DDP or Deepspeed.
