Save external constant tensors to custom filename

[lucylq]

Summary: Adding a Callable option in the config, so we can customize the nodes to save, and the filenames to save to.
The pass is applied in _program.py, it's hard to do this on the eager model (like we do with delegates) as we have to run the pass after SpecPropPass.

Pull Request Overview

This PR adds support for customizing external constant tensor storage by allowing a Callable option in the ExecutorchBackendConfig.external_constants field. Previously, this field only accepted a boolean value to determine whether all constants should be externalized. Now it can also accept a function that determines which constants to externalize and which filename to use for storage.

Key changes:

• Extended external_constants to accept either bool or Callable[[torch.fx.Node], Optional[str]]
• Updated the conditional logic in to_executorch() to handle both bool and callable cases
• Added test coverage for the custom callable scenario
