* [feat] add CPU support to tutorials in examples

* now works on a machine without cuda
* fixes some minor typos

* [cleanup] factorize tutorials in examples

* collects duplicate code across tutorials in helpers.py

* [fix] getData in tutorials now returns iterable

* reverting a change which slipped in #188

* Add CPU support for pipe.py benchmarks, CUDA-free

Adds support for:
* Reused layers (e.g. for weight sharing)
* Lazily-constructed layers
* Single-process control via PipeRPCWrapper
* PipelineStyle.AsyncScheudle, which lays the foundation for asynchronous pipeline work by introducing an event loop for each rank/worker to process either activations or gradients as they arrive

Also added examples for multi-process and PipeRPCWrapper

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

Add GradScaler to Fairscale, subclassing PyTorch's GradScaler. Use GradScaler in the pipe benchmark; though it is not needed in this case, it is a good example of how to use gradient scaling for larger models that do require gradient scaling in order to converge.

* specify chunks for pipe/transformer benchmark

Set chunks to be equal to len(balance) for pipe/transformer benchmark. Will update words per second and memory usage checks in next commit (must test on CircleCI to find appropriate values)

* change benchmark words per second and memory usage

Did six runs for words-per-second, with results: 9144.40, 9163.91, 9993.01, 9082.82, 9155.09, 9000.67
Peak allocated bytes per device (which does not change between runs) were 193206272, 645632, 562688, 92688384 for devices 0, 1, 2 and 3, respectively

* increase batch size

batch size was small enough that the GPU's computing power was not the bottleneck, slowing training and specifically making more chunks slower. Increasing batch size has therefore increased training speed

* update benchmark numbers

ran six times, with wps 36917.44, 36797.65, 37006.03, 36872.84, 37129.31, 37003.31 and peak allocated bytes 4061909504, 4050944, 10427392, 2031824896 for devices 0,1,2 and 3 respectively.

Implement scaling of optimizer state when using pure-fp16 training to avoid underflow. Update benchmark to use pure-fp16. Modify state_dict methods to store and load the optimizer state scale.
Co-authored-by: Jun Ru Anderson <andersonic@fb.com>

Set the torch seed for tests. xfail mixed precision and memory-efficient mixed-precision state_dict tests due to their states being cast to FP16 and back to FP32 during load_state_dict.

Allow training with optimizer state in fp16. Use an enum to select from full-precision, mixed precision, memory efficient mixed precision and pure fp16. Improve clarity of testing code

Add support for mixed-precision (half precision params, full precision gradients) and memory-efficient (half precision params and half precision gradients) training with Adam
Co-authored-by: Jun Ru Anderson <andersonic@fb.com>

Add FusedAdam, update benchmark and add tests.
