Generalizing transformer layers (#4776)

* adding HF tests, docstrings for AttentionLayer, TransformerLayer, TransformerBlock

* temp change to check if tests pass

* undoing temp change

* ci update

* more ci updates

* changing test run

* update makefile

* temp change

* isolating failing case

* further debugging

* fail check

* reverting to older CI

* test with reduced batch size

* cleanup

* more cleanup

* oops, fix
