[RFC] Separate CPU offload activation to its own wrapper (#85459)
Passing in `offload_to_cpu=True` to checkpoint_wrapper is a bit confusing, because this causes the activation checkpoint args to be ignored and we do CPU offloading. This isn't ideal from API design perspective, so proposing to make `offload_wrapper` its own concept.
Now, offload to CPU + checkpoint can be composed together, such as
```
# apply AC to transformer layers
apply_ac_wrapper(model, checkpoint_wrapper, check_fn=lambda mod: isinstance(mod, TransformerLayer))
# offload the rest of activations to CPU
model = offload_wrapper(model)
```
Will polish / add tests if this proposal sounds good.
