What does this PR do ?

Introduces a new dispatcher for moe inference based on allgatherv's. This helps us run MoEs without any complicated "ep syncs" to figure out compatible cuda-graphs.

⚠️ For major changes (either in lines of code or in its impact), please make sure to first share a design doc with the team. If you're unsure what's the best way to do so, contact the @mcore-oncall.

- Fix NCCLAllGatherDispatcher.set_step_metadata writing _valid_tokens_tensor
  to the subclass instead of InferenceAllGatherDispatcherBase, causing the
  Triton kernel to receive None and crash with 'constexpr has no attr is_ptr'
- Add use_allgather_v support to NCCLAllGatherDispatcher: non-CG steps
  (prefill) all-gather actual per-rank token counts, pad to max, AllGather,
  compact on dispatch; expand, ReduceScatter, truncate on combine
- Context passes use_allgather_v=not using_cuda_graph_this_step() for NCCL;
  both context and wrapper now all-gather actual per-rank counts rather than
  trivially filling (dummy forward always eager → use_allgather_v=True)
- Fix using_cuda_graph_this_step missing parentheses (property → method call)

…ers the case where one rank is running eager prefill with max_tokens, and other ranks are running a decode cuda graph with 1 token
