`grad_dtype` is a new attribute on Tensor to control gradient dtype:
- Access/setting is leaf-only.
- grad_dtype is respected when (1) when assigning to .grad, and (2) in the engine after the previous node produces incoming gradients for AccumulateGrad. (See table below for details)
- Not setting grad_dtype preserves the current behavior. Accessing it returns `t.dtype`
- `grad_dtype` cannot be set when there is already a `.grad` present and the dtypes conflict.
| `grad_dtype` setting | Setting `.grad` manually | Incoming gradient from autograd engine |
|-----------------------|--------------------------|-----------------------------------------|
| **Default (tensor’s dtype)** | `.grad` must match tensor’s dtype | Engine casts incoming grad to tensor’s dtype |
| **Set to specific dtype** | `.grad` must match that dtype | Engine casts incoming grad to the specified dtype |
| **Set to `None`** | `.grad` may be any dtype | Engine does not cast; accepts incoming grad dtype as-is |

NotImplementedError: TorchDispatchMode not yet implemented for compiled autograd.
You can disable compiled autograd for this operation by:
1. Relocating the unsupported autograd call outside the compiled region.
2. Wrapping the unsupported autograd call within a scope that disables compiled autograd.
3. Configuring the specific compilation unit to disable compiled autograd.
4. Globally disabling compiled autograd at the application's initialization.

2. Wrapping the unsupported autograd call in the torch._dynamo.compiled_autograd._disable() context manager.
3. Setting torch._dynamo.config.compiled_autograd=False for the torch.compile call containing the unsupported autograd call.
4. Setting torch._dynamo.config.compiled_autograd=False at the start of the program.

This PR is on the way to getting compiled autograd's initial capture to
stop specializing on Tensor metadata.
This PR changes compiled autograd's initial capture to proxy an opaque
(w.r.t. Dynamo) function into the graph for all built-in codegen'ed
autograd nodes and validate_outputs.
We changed each codegen'ed apply_with_saved (e.g.
MulBackward0::apply_with_saved) to call into Python to proxy a function
(compiled_autograd.ops.MulBackward0) into the graph. Then, we use the
node's InputMetadata to "guess" at the properties of the output Tensors
to create some new FakeTensors.
Some details:
- MulBackward0::apply_with_saved lives in libtorch_cpu, but needs to be
call to Python via libtorch_python. There is an indirection
(PyCompilerInterface) to do this.
- MulBackward0::apply_with_saved passes a C++ function to Python. To make
our lives easier, every codegen'ed apply_with_saved passes a C++
function with the same signature
`(variable_list, ivalue_list) -> variable_list`.
- We define how to pack arbitrary C++ types into IValue via a helper
IValuePacker struct and codegen functional variants of each builtin
C++ autograd node (e.g. MulBackward0_apply_functional_ivalue).

Thanks @awgu for raising this issue and the small repro
From offline discussion with @albanD, in the case where a forward returns multiple outputs with different devices, we'd want to select the ready queue based on the device of the first one. Even though this is somewhat arbitrary, we prefer this over deciding which ready queue to push based on whichever input buffer's we happen to compute last, which can vary depending on more factors and thus be harder to reason about. This is in theory bc-breaking, but it seems unlikely that someone would depend on this behavior.

Summary:
In some cases (especially those involving collective calls) - we would want to always kick off a collective call first before running going down another path.
For example:
```
tbe lookup -> a2a ->
overarch
dense ------------->
```
if the forward code is written as
a2a_out = a2a
dense = dense_net
out = overarch(a2a_out, dense)
out.backward()
The current default is running backwards in the opposite order the forward is called. However, there is no data dependency between a2a and dense, so in reality either of them could be run first. We would like the a2a to run first because it provides optimal (on average) overlap.
Changing the seq_nr of a2a_out to something large enough would allow autograd engine to kick it off first.

This branch:
1) converts the autograd tape into an FX graph
2) caches that conversion using a "shadow" graph
3) compiles and runs the generated FX graph instead of the normal autograd
What works currently:
1) Caching, capture, and initial integration
2) Backwards hooks
3) Inlining AotAutograd generated subgraphs
4) torch.compiling the generated FX graph
5) Auto-detecting dynamic shapes based on changes
Future work
1) Larger scale testing
1) Boxed calling convention, so memory can be freed incrementally
1) Support hooks on SavedTensor
1) Additional testing by running eager autograd tests under compiled_autograd.enable()

How the old retains_grad hooks was implemented:
- retains_grad hooks are stored on the autograd_meta, as entries in a vector
- upon registration, a wrapper hook CppFunctionTensorPreHook is created to wrap that vector, and then that wrapper hook is registered to the grad_fn, i.e., by appending it to a vector of retains_grad hooks on the grad_fn
- upon in-place, for the old grad_fn we set the retains_grad hook to nullptr, so that even though the old grad_fn still references the vector, the vector contains a single nullptr. For the new grad_fn, we create a new wrapper hook around the vector (storing the single retains_grad hook) on autograd_meta.
The new retains_grad hook implementation:
- we store std::function by value, and we store it on the grad_fn rather than the autograd_meta
- a single grad_fn can have multiple outputs, so it can potentially hold multiple retains_grad hooks. We use an unordered_map (previously a vector).
- on in-place we remove the hook from the old grad_fn and put it in the new grad_fn (small implication of this change is that we we now need to have access to both the old grad_fn and new grad_fn, this isn't a problem)
Other details:
- CppFunctionTensorPreHook took a shared_ptr to vector of std::function. In our new implementation, we add a new wrapper hook CppFunctionSingleTensorPreHook, which takes a single std::function.

This reverts commit e525f433e15de1f16966901604a8c4c662828a8a.
Original PR: #85849
Fixes #ISSUE_NUMBER
In addition to reverting the revert, this PR:
- defines the virtual destructor of FunctionPreHook in the header. Why? Presumably the internal build imports the header from somewhere, but does not have function_hooks.cpp (where the virtual destructor was previously defined) in the same compilation unit.
