This is no longer needed since isort's version is 5.10

Also fix black version to 22.3.0 to fix issue with click
dependency.

Update files that now fail with new version of black {a = 2 ** 4} ->
{a = 2**4}

* adding pre-commit files

* applying pre-commit to all files

* adding no-strict-optional argument to mypy in circle ci config

* fix typo

* updating python versions

* [skip ci] remove extra args

* adding python 3.9

* [skip ci] set pre-commit version in requirements-dev.txt

* set CACHE_VERSION

* move linters from circleci to github actions

* update python version

* update python version in benchmarks_2

* moving to python 3.9.7

* CI config changes

* changing params for failing tests

* [skip ci] minor edit

replacing multip-process pipe implementation with more flexible one

Initial implementation of proposal pytorch/pytorch#55256

[refactor] Use logging in place of print statements, remove unused functions and other minor refactoring changes. (#461)

* fix pipe logging and other cleanups

* more log/debug changes

* adding the pytest timeout plugin to properly root out hanging tests
* removing redundant code, slightly more reasonable timeout, works on single cuda
* finding the root bug for some of the cpu hangs, rpc init
* propagating all the rpc init test changes to the pipe and model parallel tests

- fixed typing
- make it run less often to reduce CI time

testing: run it in a loop make sure it is run in the right frequency.

* Add unittest for checkpoint & DDP

- this change adds test cases to reproduce the error with checkpoint & DDP
- mandeep mentioned that there is also deadlock in this case, but this
  change doesn't cover that.
- we cover cases where weight sharing is OK
- however, same module multiple checkpoint or find_unused_parameters are
  both not OK

* added norm checks

Adds support for distributing pipeline stages across multiple processes (and therefore multiple machines)
* Adds a style argument to the Pipe constructor, defaulting to PipelineStyle.SingleProcess, but also supporting PipelineStyle.MultiProcess
* Added support for lazy construction of modules (see lazy_construction for an example)
* Added two implementations of inter-process communication: one based on rpc with globally visible queues, one based on send/recv
* Copied all the relevant tests from tests/pipe to tests/pipe_process and modified them to exercise PipelineStyle.MultiProcess
