When running evaluation the general memory consumption is reduced. Mainly due to absence of gradients, and hanging FWD activations. It allows to increase the micro-bs and improve the evaluation performance. This commits add the option to pass num_micro_batches to eval_batch(), as the current assumption is that same micro-bs and global-bs is used, so same number micro batches will take place.
This commit also modifies _scale_loss_by_gas in runtime/engine.py to consider number of eval micro batches for loss scaling instead of training gas.
