Update README. (#12931)

* Implement seek and read for pins

Source pins from an mmap is pad because its its a CPU->CPU copy that
attempts to fully buffer the same data twice. Instead, use seek and
read which avoids the mmap buffering while usually being a faster
read in the first place (avoiding mmap faulting etc).

* pinned_memory: Use Aimdo pinner

The aimdo pinner bypasses pytorches CPU allocator which can leak
windows commit charge.

* ops: bypass init() of weight for embedding layer

This similarly consumes large commit charge especially for TEs. It can
cause a permanement leaked commit charge which can destabilize on
systems close to the commit ceiling and generally confuses the RAM
stats.

* model_patcher: implement pinned memory counter

Implement a pinned memory counter for better accounting of what volume
of memory pins have.

* implement touch accounting

Implement accounting of touching mmapped tensors.

* mm+mp: add residency mmap getter

* utils: use the aimdo mmap to load sft files

* model_management: Implement tigher RAM pressure semantics

Implement a pressure release on entire MMAPs as windows does perform
faster when mmaps are unloaded and model loads free ramp into fully
unallocated RAM.

Make the concept of freeing for pins a completely separate concept.
Now that pins are loadable directly from original file and don' touch
the mmap, tighten the freeing budget to just the current loaded model
- what you have left over. This still over-frees pins, but its a lot
better than before.

So after the pins are freed with that algorithm, bounce entire MMAPs
to free RAM based on what the model needs, deducting off any known
resident-in-mmap tensors to the free quota to keep it as tight as
possible.
