`SFTTrainer` adapted for Neuron.

It differs from the original `SFTTrainer` by:
- Using `_TrainerForNeuron.__init__()` instead of `Trainer.__init__()`
- Using the `_TrainerForNeuron.train()` instead of `Trainer.train()`
- Adapts the `_prepare_non_packed_dataloader` to pad to max length. In the original `SFTTrainer` examples are
  not padded, which is an issue here because it triggers compilation every time.
