What does this PR do ?

Add some slurm utils to core, create a utils dir in training, and add some new utils to the dir.

Code review

Feel free to message or comment @NVIDIA/mcore-oncall to help accelerate your merge into main. The less complex your PR is, the faster it will be approved and merged!

All PRs start as draft. If you open a non-draft PR, it will be automatically converted to draft.

Step 1: Mark PR as "Ready for Review"

1. When your PR is ready, click Ready for Review.
2. An oncall reviewer is auto-assigned and expert reviewers are notified based on your changes.
   • Some PRs may jump straight to step 2. This is determined by .github/CODEOWNERS.

⚠️ Only mark as ready once merge-conflicts are resolved and the CI is passing.
Final Review might get declined if these requirements are not fulfilled.

Step 2: Final Review

For PRs that change megatron/core, once all expert reviewers have approved, the Final Review label is applied automatically and final reviewers are assigned.

For PRs outside megatron/core, this step is skipped.

Step 3: Approved

Once all required reviewers have approved, the Approved label is applied automatically.
