Description
Tensorboard has 3 options for X-axis: Step, Relative, Wall. The Relative option allows aligning multiple traces by start time.
However, currently we cannot align multiple traces by start step (i.e. Relative Step). This feature can be useful because sometimes we have multiple finetuning models that start at different pretraining steps. Without aligning by start step it's hard to visually compare them in the same graph (the only way is to export the data and plot them in colab).
The goal of this FR is to implement Relative Step.

Research direction
Start by locating the TensorBoard X-axis controls and the existing Step, Relative, and Wall handling. Trace how multiple traces are aligned, then define the Relative Step behavior around each trace's starting step. Done means users can select Relative Step and compare traces aligned by their start steps in the same graph.
