Inconsistent environment variable names
MaxText uses the environment variables JAX_COORDINATOR_IP, JAX_COORDINATOR_PORT, NNODES, and NODE_RANK for multi-system GPU training, but JAX_COORDINATOR_ADDRESS, a fixed port, JAX_PROCESS_COUNT, and a combination of several environment variables, and for multi-system CPU training. It would be great if both configurations used the same environment variables
Since this changes the "api", perhaps we could introduce duplicate variables, and mark others as deprecated while still respecting them for a while.
