[ORTModule] Use Default Topo-order for GraphViewer (#18410)

ORT's default topo-order is a reversed DFS algorithm, while the
priority-based topo-order is a forward BFS algorithm. It's likely that
the default order is better than priority-based order on memory because
tensor memory is more likely to be released right after it's consumed.

Currently ORTModule uses priority-based order, for some models, it sorts
lots of small Ops to the beginning, this introduces big CPU overhead at
the beginning (see below screenshot), this PR is to use default order
for training. The priority-based order is heavily used for some
recompute optimization, so if there is recompute enabled, we will still
use priority-based order.

This PR also adds an optimization to the default order, which is to move
all Shape/Size Ops to right after their parent nodes. This is to make
sure the shape and size nodes are executed right after their parents so
it's possible the input tensor memory can be released as soon as
possible. This is especially important for non-CPU devices or for
training case where some gradient graphs use only shape/size of tensors
from forward.
