Description

Certain places in our codebase still use TransformRangeConcurrently. It would be good to get rid of this in favor of ParallelFor so that we can also get rid of core/ops/tfq_simulate_utils.cc

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the current usage of TransformRangeConcurrently in the codebase, understand the ParallelFor API and its signature, replace each call with the equivalent ParallelFor call, and finally delete the file core/ops/tfq simulate utils.cc. Ensure tests pass.
