[2/N][Feat] Add MC2 communication method for MoE layers (#2469)

### What this PR does / why we need it?
This method replaces the previous all-gather approach for small numbers
of tokens.

The key changes include:
- A new `AscendFusedMoE` layer that handles token splitting, local
computation, and final aggregation via all-gather.
- Logic in the model runner to dynamically select between the new MC2
method and the existing all-gather method based on the number of input
tokens.
- Sharding the MoE communication mask across tensor-parallel ranks.

### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
None.

### How was this patch tested?
Test case fixed.
