feature: python module support to torch_distributed

[clumsy]

Issue #, if available: Related to https://github.com/aws/sagemaker-training-toolkit/pull/205

Description of changes:

torch_distributed uses torchrun which supports running python modules via -m <MODULE>. Currently SageMaker limits torch_distributed to scripts only. This change will allow submitting the training jobs with sagemaker_program="-m <MODULE>"

Testing done: Successfully submitted the SageMaker training job with the right parameterss.

The training job will still fail in runtime because sagemaker-training-toolkit need to be updated:

Hi @rahul003, I was able to confirm the fixes work, you're right we need to release toolkit changes first. Thanks!
