* fix ports conflict when launching multi-nodes in paddlecloud;test=develop

* add DISTRIBUTED_TRAINER_ENDPOINTS env for cloud;test=develop

* fix strategy, test=develop

* fix can_apply

* optimize slice TRT plugin

This patch removes unnecessary barrier for data transfer of needed offset,
so data transfer can be overlap with GPU kernel execution.

This patch also fixes incorrect name of slice plugin. That is, replaces
"layernorm" with "slice"
