- much thanks for @cyanguwa for report and @QuentinDuval for debugging it
- a new unit test is added to check for this and ensure we detect
  issue with overlapping and cpu/gpu blocking wait calls

* Update PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md

- we do have a use case of empty params inside a FSDP -- for the
overlapping fsdp unit test, we use it to measure timing of compute
when no params is needed for all_gather
- therefore, I updated the comment to be more correct there.
- fixes #661

* [feat] experimental.nn.SyncBatchNorm: initial commit

Fast/simple re-implementation of SyncBatchNorm.

When profiling SSL Vision, I was seeing a majority of cycles spent in
SyncBatchNorm. With this change, I see a 10% to 20% speedup on the
model I was profiling.

When running benchmarks/experimental/sync_batchnorm.py on 8 x V100,
I get a 6x speedup:

* [fix] add clear_autocast_cache flag

- when training in AMP model with weight dtype32, FSDP may need to
  optionally clear the autocast cache to avoid GPU OOM
- this flag is default false, automatically doing it is a future TODO
- also added a verbose flag to make print(fsdp_model) a bit shorter
- updated the memory test to cover those new code
- added a couple of useful functions in parallel.py and testing.py

* [feat] save memory by using bucket buffer only in backward

- this fixes bug #627
- added documentation to clarify the buffer's cost and speed/memory
  tradeoff
- added setup/teardown calls so that the buffer is only allocated
  during the backward pass, saving more memory for forward and stepping
  so that they can be used for things like activations.
- added a unit test that assert the memory is in range.

Comparing with DDP:

  1. buffer size scales with # of FSDP not model size
  2. buffer is only allocated during backward
  3. buffer is used for small tensors only to reduce overhead
  4. overlapping of compute-reduction is very different

* add PR number to changelog
