* [fix]: handle inputs with containers

- this is an issue surfaces by vissl as well
- fix seems to be super simple
- also cleaned up two tests with respect to multiple such tests
  running back to back (they don't do that presently)

* cleanup

* fix

* lint

* [refactor] enhance wrap and auto_wrap

- Two things were done in this PR
  1. We don't need to import FSDP in wrap.py since the wrapper class
     type is stored in the context now.
  2. We can use a `auto_wrap_policy` function to customize wrapping policy
     for auto_wrap, including size of module, blacklist, exclude list
- The auto_wrap function got simplified a bit as a minor side effect.

This adds a context manager that assists in making child modules with similar defaults.
Usage:
```
from fairscale.nn.misc import enable_wrap, wrap

with enable_wrap(**handleful_of_important_params):
    layer_1 = wrap(torch.nn.Linear(5, 5))
    layer_2 = wrap(torch.nn.Linear(5, 5), flatten_parameters=True) # Override parameters if you'd like

# without the context manager, creates Linear layer
layer_1 = wrap(torch.nn.Linear(5, 5))
```
If not within the FSDP context, this would be a no-op. This makes it easier to annotate layers without having to copy any changes in parameters.
