preserve non-dense or overlapping tensor's layout in *_like functions (#46046)
Summary:
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/pull/46046
*_like functions are used in pytorch to create a new tensor with the same shape of the input tensor. But we don’t always preserve the layout permutation of the tensor. Current behavior is that, for a dense and non-overlapping tensor, its layout permutation is preserved. For eg. passing a channel last contiguous tensor t with ‘shape/stride’ (2, 4, 3, 2)/(24, 1, 8, 4) to empty_like(t) function will create a new tensor with exactly the same ‘shape/stride’ as the input tensor t. However, if the input tensor is non-dense or has overlap, we simply create a contiguous tensor based on input tensor’s shape, so the tensor layout permutation is lost.
This PR preserves the layout permutation for non-dense or overlapping tensor. The strides propagation rule that used in this PR is exactly the same as what is being used in TensorIterator. The behavior changes are listed below:

This is to solve the non-dense tensor layout problem in #45505
TODO:
- [x] Fix all the BC broken test cases in pytorch
- [ ] Investigate if any fb internal tests are broken
This change will cover all kinds of non-dense tensors.
