[Feature] Add NPU Support for Single Agent

[lowdy1]

Description

Adds support for Ascend NPUs in most single-agent sota-implementations. These changes are non-intrusive to existing code and have been thoroughly tested on Ascend NPU devices.
As the next step, we are working to extend TorchRL NPU support to multi-agent experiments and GRPO, and we plan to submit a separate PR for this work soon.

Motivation and Context

We aim to extend TorchRL to enable execution on NPUs, providing broader hardware compatibility.
And our issue is #3154
