Update base for Update on "Add Python RRef as args and return value"
See #23110 for model parallel design details, and #26759 for the RRef protocol. This commit add support for using RRef as Python UDF arguments and return value. RRefs can now be shared from owner to user, from user to owner, or from user to user. Limitations: 1. No implicit type conversion yet. 2. No failure handling and retry. 3. UDF is not yet blocked until all RRefs are confirmed. 4. Internal RRef control messages are not idempotent yet. Main changes: 1. Added `SCRIPT_REMOTE_CALL` and `PYTHON_REMOTE_CALL` to `Message.h` to represent `dist.remote` invocations. 2. Added `SCRIPT_RREF_FETCH_CALL`, `PYTHON_RREF_FETCH_CALL`, `RREF_USER_ACCEPT`, `RREF_USER_DELETE`, `RREF_CHILD_ACCEPT`, and `RREF_FORK_REQUEST` to `Message.h` as internal RRef control messages. 3. New message request handling code is added to `functions.cpp`, and message format is added in `script_remote_call.h`, `python_remote_call.h`, and `rref_proto.h`. 4. Added a `PyRRef` type in `py_rref.h` and `py_rref.cpp` which holds a shared pointer to C++ `RRef` type. `PyRRef` wraps the C++ API and also implements RRef pickling and unpickling. RRef fork related control messages will be sent during RRef pickling/unpickling procedure. 5. Update `RRef.h` and `RRef.cpp` accordingly to support `py::object` RRefs. 6. RRef context (reference count, etc.) are tracked in `rref_context.h` and `rref_context.cpp`.
