update float8 integration after UX changes

Summary:

float8_experimental landed various BC-breaking UX changes last week.
This PR updates torchtitan to work with the version of
float8_experimental after
pytorch-labs/float8_experimental#332

Test Plan:

```
with-proxy CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 NGPU=8 CONFIG_FILE="./train_configs/llama3_8b.toml" ./run_llama_train.sh --training.enable_float8_linear --training.compile
```
