Removes DeepSpeed’s legacy Sparse Attention feature as part of #8489, including its Python/Triton/C++ implementation, op builder,
sparse_attninstallation extra, and associated documentation and build/packaging entries.The sparse-attention APIs are no longer available, and configurations containing
sparse_attentionnow fail explicitly with DeepSpeedConfigError .
