* [docs]: add checkpoint_wrapper and many small fixes

* update copyright year

* test with and without buckets for all the shardedDDP unit tests
* parametrize all the things
* refactoring, adding even more  combinations at times
* handle hosts not having cuda

* [fix] expose checkpoint_wrapper

* fix formatting

* Adding multiple groups support to ShardedDDP + unit test
* adding gloo to the backends tested for multiple groups

* [fix] ShardedDDP train/eval modes
* Update CHANGELOG.md

* initial implementation, with unit test and assert
* added changelog and better debug string

* WIP, needs to be fixed !

* should be a fix, many thanks Weiyi Zheng

* slightly better unit test, sorting the states on the way out

* reproducing the issue from Weiyi in a unit test, and finally properly fixing

* fixing unit test on pytorch1.5 - original loss diff 26.404895782470703 - 26.404342651367188

This reverts commit 8be9d930.

* many thanks Weiyi Zheng

* Better unit testing
* Make it possible to refresh the DDP assumptions when the model has changed. Make it optional so that you save some time
* Enabling accumulation tests

* super minor, opportunistic micro optim

* v0.1.6

* flat params all along, way simpler
* updating the docstring

fix a broken earlier commit, only worked for the first step

* minor

* minor

cache this iterator, easy speed up

* Adding a proper ddp parity / AMP unit test, overdue
* catch non-AMP pytorch

It is not currently being used so we can simplify the interface
by removing it.

* restoring the regression test, adding a test of the for_each optims
* fix the regression test on circleci
* removing unused flags

* precise skip, only if agent has only cpu

* mp cleanup

* round of multiprocess refactoring

* test golden run

* print cuda stats

* fix lint errors

* enable multiprocess pipe benchmarks

* set world size to be available gpus

* more changes

* use synthetic loaders for intermediate pipeline stages

* merged master

* fix for the devices property

* dataloader fix

* modify rank check

* print wps stats

* enable verification

* fix logging

* fix flag name

* fix flag name

* check for rank

* fix indent

* pass args

* pass args

* modify golden data

* remove unused print messsage

* fix lint errors

* add comments

* fix benchmarks

* [feat] Add AdaScaleWrapper

- This enables a different API for wrapping an optimizer with AdaScale.
- This also enables AdaScale to be wrapped by OSS.
- However, OSS wrapping AdaScale results in different optimization,
  which future research will be needed to study its effects.

testing: add unit tests.

* addressed comment: typo

* adding the .to(device) support + unit testing
* doc update

* adding a test to prove the inter operability with upstream pytorch
* updating the changelog
* eager state pruning
* pytorch 1.5 compat

* no idea about the root issue, but it proved to be fairly narrowed (gloo+cpu+python3.8+no cuda installed) so I guess that's out of scope for fairscale
