add FlashAttentionKwargs and seq_idx to flat collator (#36456)

* add flash attn kwargs to flattening collator

* add return_seq_idx option

* doc string edits

* cleaner max len updates

* various fixes

* temp testing code

* return int32 seq_idx and FlashAttnKwargs

* DataCollatorIntegrationTest impl

* fix batch dims and dtypes

* fill out remaining collator tests

* test name change and fmt

* rm unused var

* fmt

* minor change

* fmt

* add missing pos_ids check

* consistent {np,pt,tf} tests

* split pt tests into 3, like np/tf tests

* mv comment, rename fa test

* remove batch dim comment

* simply wrapping

* compute cu_seq_len/max_length once

* fmt

* remove tf code

* rm warning

* move separator_id back to 2nd pos

* use cleaner lists in tests

* ret -> batch

* fmt

* attr ordering

* use py ints for max_length_{k,q}
