Subject: [PATCH 1/2] [utils] preserve method metadata in apply_forward_hook

Add @functools.wraps to the inner wrapper so it inherits __name__,
__doc__, __module__ and the signature of the wrapped method. Without
this, methods decorated with @apply_forward_hook (e.g. AutoencoderKL's
encode and decode) lose their docstring and signature, so doc-builder
cannot render them through the [[autodoc]] directive and they show up
as "wrapper" with a generic (*args, **kwargs) signature on the live
API docs. The same affects VQModel, ConsistencyDecoderVAE and the
other autoencoders that use the decorator.

Add regression tests asserting that the wrapped method exposes the
right metadata (name, docstring, signature including default values,
__wrapped__) and that the underlying offload hook still fires through
the wrapper.

Fixes #6575
