[trainer, recipe] feat: Fully Async Policy add Rollout Importance Sampling with Megatron#4023

Code Review
This pull request adds support for Rollout Importance Sampling in the Fully Async Policy with Megatron, introducing utilities for model parameter management between CPU and GPU. The changes are logical and well-structured, including new example run scripts. My review focuses on improving the new utility functions for clarity and performance, and correcting minor errors in the new shell scripts. I've identified an unused variable, an inconsistent use of pin_memory() that could impact performance, and duplicated code in the new shell scripts.

@lalala-2 Thank you for your contribution! Could you take a look to the new system on rollout correction (rollout_is) from #3984 and migrate to this system? the config document: https://verl.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advance/rollout_corr.html |
