Otherwise the currently running tasks will never exit (before they
actually complete), which means the process can't be properly shut down
(only with SIGKILL).
Ideally, we let tasks know that they are about to shutdown and give them
some time to do so; but in the lack of the mechanism, it's better to
cancel than linger forever.

# What does this PR do?
Now a separate thread is started to execute training jobs. Training
requests now return job ID before the job completes. (Which fixes API
timeouts for any jobs that take longer than a minute.)
Note: the scheduler code is meant to be spun out in the future into a
common provider service that can be reused for different APIs and
providers. It is also expected to back the /jobs API proposed here:
https://github.com/meta-llama/llama-stack/discussions/1238
Hence its somewhat generalized form which is expected to simplify its
adoption elsewhere in the future.
Note: this patch doesn't attempt to implement missing APIs (e.g. cancel
or job removal). This work will belong to follow-up PRs.

## Test Plan
[Describe the tests you ran to verify your changes with result
summaries. *Provide clear instructions so the plan can be easily
re-executed.*]
Added unit tests for the scheduler module. For the API coverage, did
manual testing and was able to run a training cycle on GPU. The initial
call returned job ID before the training completed, as (now) expected.
Artifacts are returned as expected.

```
The integration test is currently disabled for the provider. I will look
into how it can be enabled in a different PR / issue context.
