Add safe_globals to resume training on PyTorch 2.6

Starting from version 2.4 PyTorch introduces a stricter check for the objects which
can be loaded with torch.load(). Starting from version 2.6 loading with weights_only=True
requires allowlisting of such objects.

This commit adds allowlist of some numpy objects used to load model checkpoints.
Usage is restricted by context manager. User can still additionally call
torch.serialization.add_safe_globals() to add other objects into the safe globals list.

Accelerate library also stepped into same problem and addressed it with PR-3036.

Fixes: #34631
