Laguna xs dflash support

[MeganEFlynn]

Purpose

This PR adds support for DFlash speculative decoding to the laguna model definition. Primarily it adds support for saving the hidden states during the forward pass.

Test Plan

This was tested using poolside/Laguna-XS.2-speculator.dflash

Code Review

This pull request enables speculative decoding support for the Laguna model by integrating EagleModelMixin and SupportsEagle3. The changes include updating the speculative configuration and modifying the LagunaModel forward pass to collect and return auxiliary hidden states. A critical issue was identified in the pipeline parallel logic where intermediate ranks fail to return collected auxiliary hidden states, which would lead to crashes during speculative decoding.

[gemini-code-assist]

When aux_hidden_states are being collected (e.g., during speculative decoding with EAGLE or DFlash), the model's forward method is expected to return a tuple containing both the primary output and the auxiliary hidden states. The current implementation for non-last pipeline parallel ranks only returns the IntermediateTensors object, which will cause a crash or missing data in the model runner when speculative decoding is enabled.

To ensure consistency with the last rank's return logic (lines 659-661), this path should also return the auxiliary hidden states if they are present.

Suggested change

	return IntermediateTensors(
	{"hidden_states": hidden_states, "residual": residual}
	)
	output = IntermediateTensors(
	{"hidden_states": hidden_states, "residual": residual}
	)
	if len(aux_hidden_states) > 0:
	return output, aux_hidden_states
	return output
