Add a variant of CPO, SimPO

 The [IPO](https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.12036) authors provide a deeper theoretical understanding of the CPO algorithms and identify an issue with overfitting and propose an alternative loss which can be used via the `loss_type="ipo"` argument to the trainer. Note that the `beta`  parameter is the reciprocal of the gap between the log-likelihood ratios of the chosen vs the rejected completion pair and thus the smaller the `beta` the larger this gaps is. As per the paper the loss is averaged over log-likelihoods of the completion (unlike CPO which is summed only).
 
+The [SimPO](https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.14734) is an alternative loss that adds a reward margin, allows for length normalization, and does not use BC regularization. To use this loss, we can use SimPO easily by turning on`loss_type="simpo"` in the `CPOConfig`.
