Summary:
add non-meta tensor initialization path to distributed init.

in this path, the model is materialized by all processes on the cpu (duplicated—resulting in proportionally increased cpu memory requirements) instead of just by rank 0. afterwards, all modules/buffers/params are iterated over and sharded as previously; however, instead of rank0 first broadcasting its tensor data to all other meta-tensor ranks, all ranks now simply copy their own cpu-init'd data onto their corresponding gpu and continue.
