add alternating window size patterns for the GPT layers, following GPT-3. Experimented a bit and found the pattern SSSL to work well - 3 short, 1 long alternating. This is now the new default and the plots look quite a bit better on flops vs. bpb

Big Muon optimizer changes inspired by latest of modded-nanogpt. Added Polar Express, Adafactor-style variance reduction, cautious weight decay, schedule weight decay linearly to ramp down to zero. Tuned optimum weight decay for multiple model sizes d8, d12, d16, d20 and found a scaling law with optimum wd \propto 1/channels^2, including it as default into code. --weight_decay of base_train is now default on and configured optimally according to all of these experiments. Solid bump to val_bpb observed as a result of these changes.

Fix WANDB_RUN parameter passing in runcpu.sh
...
- Add --run=$WANDB_RUN to base_train, mid_train, and chat_sft calls
- Ensures wandb logging works when WANDB_RUN environment variable is set
- Matches the behavior in speedrun.sh

delete grad_clip. appears to not be necessary at all. not only was it buggy because the clipping happened per gpu before grad synchronization, but it costs ~2% MFU, and it also doesn't even help. I tried deleting it a while ago and back then it did help. So I'm guessing that some hyperparameter tuning obviated the reason for it since then
