MacOS test falsely uses MPS, fails and is misreported as passing #1416

Description

🐛 Describe the bug

#1415, #1404 and all other PRs fail on test-readme-macos when torchchat apparently falsely tries to load the model to MPS.
Due to #1315 , the test don't report as failed, so things get committed anyway.

I don't know why test-readme-macos would try to load into MPS. There's a multi-layered story here, where virtualized Mac does not support MPS (I think because most likely there's no MMU for MPS, so you can't virtualize MPS). MPS is however still reported as available by the OS, and hence a simple check torch.backends.mps.is_available(): is not sufficient because pytorch thinks that MPS is actually available (but any and all memory allocations should fail).

We're trying to fix this by doing an allocation of a tensor in MPS memory and see if that succeeds or fails in is_mps_available() here => https://github.com/pytorch/torchchat/blob/main/torchchat/utils/build_utils.py#L269 when get_device_str() is looking to check if MPS is available, and the fastest device should be returned as MPS.

Ideally, this should be fixed in the expansion get_device_str() and is_mps_available() functions, together with #1315.

Fail example is here => https://github.com/pytorch/torchchat/actions/runs/12243820522/job/34154220414?pr=1404
