Create causal mask on MCore/TE side
What does this PR do ?
Currently Megatron-LM creates causal attention mask for a local-layer spec model on its own -- see https://github.com/NVIDIA/Megatron-LM/commit/a45805a3ee0645b85b48d14b0a8077fa5b1216b2 -- and hence attention_mask=None can be specified in Nemo. In this MR, I'm using this new M-LM functionality when creating fwd_output_only_func function.
Broader functional tests for fwd_output_only_func will follow in subsequent MRs.
