Reduce memory usage and network overhead by compressing binary loss masks using run-length encoding (RLE) when transferring data between rollout and training components. - Add compress_loss_mask and decompress_loss_mask utilities - Compress masks in RolloutManager before sending - Decompress in FSDP and Megatron data processing - Add comprehensive tests for RLE functions

There is a TODO in rollout.py to add loss mask compression. I think it makes sense as high compression rate is expected.
