multi is O(1) (#10183)

* multi is O(1)

* allreduce

* no new uops needed

* junk

* something

* simple

* that's really what i want

* closer

* inject _device_num

* pretty print

* cleanups

* this

* early dnum

* ops allreduce is good

* ish

* device is the tuple and this is fine

* simpler

* progress

* copy_multi

* work

* more tests

* more tests pass

* work

* no None axis

* tests

* no none multi

* type fixes

* pre commit passes

* lil

* remove this

* mlperf dataloader on mac

* that test was wrong

* unbind

* support DEBUG=2

* realize

* only unbind bound vars

* don't include fixedvars

* graph test

* one test

* fixedvars in hcq

* new ring reduce

* ring reduce

* simpler ring

* mselect

* mselect doesn't work

* Revert "mselect doesn't work"

This reverts commit c78b77bd7d.

* Revert "mselect"

This reverts commit bb2e430ac3.

* simpler

* fixups

* no optional

* fix jit

* move things around

* cleanup multi

* simpler multi

* simpler reshape
