What does this PR do?

Adds boolean sync_module_states to XLAStrategy to control whether or not to call broadcast_master_params(). Broadcasting master parameters is not always needed. For example, when initializing random weights, if the seed is defined and the same on all devices, then broadcast_master_params() is not needed.

The motivation for this change is that broadcast_master_params() adds additional time to training and if not needed should be skipped.

LGTM! Last bit is to add a CHANGELOG entry for both Fabric and PyTorch
