Description

Clearly we still need register_external_parameter, so we probably should restore:

Research direction

Start with the Zero tutorial section at https://www.deepspeed.ai/tutorials/zero/#registering-external-parameters and compare it with the 0.3.15 state referenced in the issue. Restore the register_external_parameter documentation so the section is available again, then verify the rendered tutorial contains it.
