Missing alpha parameter of Focal loss in DiceFocalLoss

[dkalsan]

Describe the bug
The available class monai.losses.DiceFocalLoss is missing the alpha parameter for Focal loss. Is this a result of some design choice or just got overlooked in the implementation?

Expected behavior
alpha parameter should be passed to the monai.losses.FocalLoss or have the reason for its absence documented.

Hi @dkalsan, what does alpha mean here, can you be more explicit? Thanks.

I mean the argument passed down to the FocalLoss class during construction, which results in an alpha-balanced Focal loss as per the paper. I believe this argument should also be available in the DiceFocalLoss since it's effectively just a wrapper around the two losses.

From the docstring of FocalLoss:

alpha – value of the alpha in the definition of the alpha-balanced Focal loss. The value should be in [0, 1]. Defaults to None.
