v0.13.0 Launcher update (multinode and GPU selection) and mutliple bug fixes

Better multinode support in the launcher

The accelerate command launch did not work well for distributed training using several machines. This is fixed in this version.

• Use torchrun for multinode by @muellerzr in #631
• Fix multi-node issues from launch by @muellerzr in #672

Launch training on specific GPUs only

Instead of prefixing your launch command with CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=xxx you can now specify the GPUs you want to use in your Accelerate config.

• Allow for GPU-ID specification on CLI by @muellerzr in #732

Better tracebacks and rich support

The tracebacks are now cleaned up to avoid printing several times the same error, and rich is integrated as an optional dependency.

• Integrate Rich into Accelerate by @muellerzr in #613
• Make rich an optional dep by @muellerzr in #673
