remove completed sentences from batch and allow batching uneven lengths (with fixes to make padded sequences work correctly in all models)

Changes:
- 7d19e36: Add `--sampling` flag to generate.py to sample instead of doing beam search
- c777340: Add `scripts/average_checkpoints.py` to average multiple checkpoints into a combined model
- 3ea882c: Add `--max-update` option to train.py to stop training after a given number of updates
- small bugfixes for distributed training, LSTM, inverse square root LR scheduler

Remove custom ConvTBC code

This PR includes breaking API changes to modularize fairseq-py and adds support for distributed training across multiple nodes.

Changes:
- c7033ef: add support for distributed training! See updated README for usage.
- e016299: modularize fairseq-py, adding support for register_model, register_criterion, register_optimizer, etc.
- 154e440: update LSTM implementation to use PackedSequence objects in the encoder, better following best practices and improving perf
- 90c2973 and 1da6265: improve unit test coverage

* Move some functionality out of FConvModel into FairseqModel base class
* Move incremental decoding functionality into FairseqIncrementalDecoder module
* Refactor positional embeddings to be more specific to FConvModel
