fix(distributed): subgroup NCCL regression + nccl_utils TRT 11 cleanup

[apbose]

test_native_nccl.py:

• Fix test_distributed_mode_subgroup and test_distributed_mode_context_switch regressions introduced by PR Python runtime rework  #4222 (Python runtime rework): add dist.barrier(group=subgroup) before first TRT forward so PyTorch's lazy ncclComm_t is initialized and bind_nccl_comm() sees a non-zero getCommPtr().
• Remove all use_python_runtime=True flags (deprecated no-op in 2.13).
• Add _cpp_runtime_available() guard to TestPythonRuntimePickle so it skips in C++ builds where _TRTEngine's custom op is never registered.
• Fix _multirank_scatter_correctness / _multirank_gather_correctness in run_multirank_tests(): wrap with lambdas that loop over root ranks to match their (root, rank, world_size, device) signature (broken since PR TRT 11 MD Ops #4321).
• Remove _multirank_distributed_mode_subgroup_python and _multirank_distributed_mode_context_switch_python (cannot work when C++ extension is loaded); collapse _multirank_pg_migration to cpp-only.

_nccl_utils.py:

• setup_nccl_for_torch_tensorrt(): drop ensure_nccl_symlink() call and pre-load libnccl.so.2 directly instead of via the unversioned symlink. TRT 11.0+ (ncclWrapper.cpp) tries dlopen("libnccl.so.2") first, matching PyTorch's soname exactly; glibc reuses the already-loaded handle so no symlink is needed. ensure_nccl_symlink() is kept for TRT < 11.0 users.
• Update module docstring to reflect confirmed TRT 11.0+ behavior.
