xformer integration (#2263)

Summary:
# Before submitting

- [ ] Was this discussed/approved via a Github issue? (no need for typos, doc improvements)
- [x] Did you read the [contributor guideline](https://github.com/pytorch/fairseq/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)?
- [ ] Did you make sure to update the docs?
- [x] Did you write any new necessary tests?

## What does this PR do?
This PR is a cleaned up version of https://github.com/fairinternal/fairseq-py/issues/2138. It is based on the `main` branch instead of the `gshard` branch. Removed call to xFormers MultiHeadDispatch, only using xFormers Attention.

## PR review
Anyone in the community is free to review the PR once the tests have passed.
If we didn't discuss your PR in Github issues there's a high chance it will not be merged.

## Did you have fun?
Make sure you had fun coding �
