…RT-LLM The CI container had torchao 0.14.0 which is incompatible with recent peft (requires >=0.16.0), causing test_salm_lora to fail. Upgrade the base NGC PyTorch image to 26.03 (torchao 0.17, PyTorch 2.11) and drop all build/install machinery for Apex, TransformerEngine, Megatron-LM, and TensorRT-LLM since NeMo is now Speech AI only.

The wheel package is debian-installed without a RECORD file in pytorch:26.03-py3, causing 'pip install -U wheel' to fail with 'uninstall-no-record-file'. Install wheel separately with --ignore-installed so pip places a newer version in the higher-priority /usr/local site-packages directory. Signed-off-by: Piotr Żelasko <petezor@gmail.com>
