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!)
