- 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.

The expert annotation is used by clip_grads and DDP.

Currently only implemented for a single process and expert.

* 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

Same bucketing strategy for OSS and SDP:
sort everything ahead of time, per rank and per size, smaller tensors first. Bucket the smallest elements in a fixed buffer, send async, then send all the others async, and get back to the bucket. Once done then scatter the contents if needed

- adding the buffer broadcast option
- minor cleanup in shardedDDP

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

- rename oss_ddp to ShardedDataParallel
- some refactoring
- ShardedDataParallel owns the sharded optimizer, exposed if need be
- some small perf bumps

- added train(mode) method to be aware of eval mode
