* [test]: test with py39 + torch 1.8 nightly

* version fix

* more fix

* fix version function for nightly version

* fix torch_pg build

* invalidate cache

* separate benchmark requirements

* comment

* fixed mypy

* fixed a test

Also, we can save time by only running unittests once instead of
twice (with and without coverage).

* [test] cover python 3.7 to 3.9 on CPU

- covering common python versions on CPU tests
- added doc build test

* add doc build test

* skipping failing tests on py39

* catching doc build warnings

* add doc build to py38 and py39

* minor fix

* fix doc build for adascale

* removed dead code

* fix the skipping

* skip unit test for py39

* add failing example

* no more py39 skipping the tests

* tentatively fixing the cpu version of circleci jobs, now pipe tests are the last ones standing
* fixing oss backcompat, trying to fix rpc in old pytorch also
* fixing the file based init in torch 1.5

* adding the pytest timeout plugin to properly root out hanging tests
* removing redundant code, slightly more reasonable timeout, works on single cuda
* finding the root bug for some of the cpu hangs, rpc init
* propagating all the rpc init test changes to the pipe and model parallel tests

- tighter regression detection, based on the best case vs. worst case
- still run all configurations, useful for comparisons but not a target

* keep two torch 1.7 profiles to save cuda 10.1 testing

* testing median and MAD

* synchronize on kernels to make sure that we're measuring the actual completion time

* adjusting the circleci threshold, not that the speed has regressed but because we measure proper cuda execution time

* rewrite using autograd and Variable execution queue to make the reduce automatic
* share buckets with OSS to remove duplication
* some speed still likely on the table since the speed vs. bucketing does not match expectations, could be a follow up

* oss benchmark: add an --amp option
* add a circleCI test

* Some ease of use in the benchmark tool, add a debug option

* switching to MNIST
* updating the reference values, should be good to go
* download dataset once for all processes

* adding a cpu option
* adjust the reference loss

* bugfix
* adjust default non-regression loss, not all_reduced now

More realistic benchmarks, comparing apples to apples. DDP/OSS+DDP/OSS+SDP

* new unit test to catch rank issues in OSS

* minor, but gives some memory back
* adjust CI and regression checks to 4 gpu

- small benchmark refactor, only one for all backends and ddp
- deterministic, enforce alignment with pytorch ddp

* Broadcasting grad-enabled tensors is forbidden in Gloo, because this is not differentiable. Workaround

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
