Conv2d aligns input channels to 32.
Currently for height sharded convs we user to relax this and to set 16 as alignment for input channels
This changes relaxes this further, and user can set 8 as min channel alignment for height shareded convs.
This was enabled by #17122
Auto-shard codepath now uses 8 as channel alignment for shallow convs.
This enables more pytorch traces to pass as it saves on L1 memory usage.
This change was manually tested on BH as well.
