Preferring dash over underscore in command-line options. Add `--command-arg-name` to the argument parser. The old arguments with underscores `--command_arg_name` are kept for backward compatibility.
Both dashes and underscores are used in the PyTorch codebase. Some argument parsers only have dashes or only have underscores in arguments. For example, the `torchrun` utility for distributed training only accepts underscore arguments (e.g., `--master_port`). The dashes are more common in other command-line tools. And it looks to be the default choice in the Python standard library:
`argparse.BooleanOptionalAction`: 4a9dff0e5a/Lib/argparse.py (L893-L895)
```python
class BooleanOptionalAction(Action):
def __init__(...):
if option_string.startswith('--'):
option_string = '--no-' + option_string[2:]
_option_strings.append(option_string)
```
It adds `--no-argname`, not `--no_argname`. Also typing `_` need to press the shift or the caps-lock key than `-`.

The default `--max_restarts` for `torch.distributed.run` was changed to `0` from `3` to make things backwards compatible with `torch.distributed.launch`. Since the default `--max_restarts` used to be greater than `0` we never documented passing `--max_restarts` explicitly in any of our example code.

Summary:
This PR introduces a new `torchrun` entrypoint that simply "points" to `python -m torch.distributed.run`. It is shorter and less error-prone to type and gives a nicer syntax than a rather cryptic `python -m ...` command line. Along with the new entrypoint the documentation is also updated and places where `torch.distributed.run` are mentioned are replaced with `torchrun`.

Moves docs sphinx `*.rst` files from the torchelastic repository to torch. Note: only moves the rst files the next step is to link it to the main pytorch `index.rst` and write new `examples.rst`
