Subject: [PATCH] Add ref_input parameter to support separate inputs for
 reference model (#467)

This PR fixes #447 by adding support for separate inputs for the
reference model.

### Changes
- Add `ref_input` parameter to `forward()` and `_compute_loss()` methods
- Use `ref_input` for reference model calculations if provided,
otherwise fallback to using the main input
- Update docstrings to document the new parameter

### Testing
The changes are backward compatible - if `ref_input` is not provided, it
will use the main input for reference model calculations, maintaining
the current behavior.

Fixes #447
