* survive the model being moved to device post-construction
* make sure that a unit test would catch a regression

- added DDP equivalency test
- added rmf, state_dict_norm functions to testing utils
- added more debugging output to objects_are_equal

* re-activating unit test
* removing changed that slipped in

* Add new test for weight init (fails)
* Set FSDP.compute_device so summon_full_params works before module moves to CUDA
* Override FSDP.apply to enable custom weight init

* param buckets
* unifying the buckets

* extracting the buckets in a dedicated class, fixing the resize_ bug
* adding a unit test
* copyright

* enabling disabled tests

* [feat] FSDP: add auto_wrap_bn

- add an utility function to handle wrapping of BN

* changelog

* [feature] FSDP: enable pytorch SyncBN

- not fully validated yet but at least not asserting
- this enables VISSL to move forward with its next PR

* add the test file

* changelog and lint

* addressed comment

* Deactivating buckets for a single rank, not crashing but not useful

* extending the current state_dict interface, make it possible to do everything in a single call, and to checkpoint on all ranks

* FSDP: multi-pass autograd graph and mixed precision

- added BACKWARD_PRE/POST checking
- better assert_state
- fixed issue of backward hook misfiring

* fix

* cleanup

* Update fairscale/nn/data_parallel/fully_sharded_data_parallel.py

* Adding a hard sync barrier before the broadcast, mostly useful for Gloo actually, NCCL is synced behind the scene
* adding a proper unit test
* adding a unit test for https://github.com/facebookresearch/fairscale/pull/510

* Fix packed sequence apply

* Update fairscale/utils/containers.py

* [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.

* Update fairscale/nn/wrap/auto_wrap.py

* [perf][minor] cache the rank lookups, small shardedddp perf fix
* tiny improvement, code quality

* change empty shard handling for OSS, do not rely on asserts
* code review

* [feat]: checkpoint and normalization

- added special handling of BN for track_running_stats and checkpointing
- we test BN/LN and checkpointing
- we test them with mixed precision

* Fix ampnet unit test by adding delegate object

* Remove comments

- cover them in terms of code path only
- numerically, AdaScale is different on SDP/FSDP than DDP, mainly
  due to partial view of the gradients.
- this doesn't mean it is definitely not useful but it is yet to
  be validated.
- not going to spend too much time until we have a real use case.

* [chore] move a test script

* add a shortcut for installing

* more skipping

* keep apt-get part

[refactor] Use logging in place of print statements, remove unused functions and other minor refactoring changes. (#461)

* fix pipe logging and other cleanups

* more log/debug changes

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.
