Summary:
No major API changes since the last release. Cutting a new release since we'll be merging significant (possibly breaking) changes to logging, data loading and the masked LM implementation soon.

Summary:
Fairseq wouldn't install on macOS.
A workaround was found here: https://github.com/pytorch/fairseq/issues/289
This is now automatic in setup.py, maybe be there's a cleaner way to do it.

I checked that it compiles fine on Linux and macOS.

Summary:
Notable (possibly breaking) changes:
- d45db804: Remove checkpoint utility functions from utils.py into checkpoint_utils.py

  - rm unused `remove_head` functions
- 34726d56: Move `distributed_init` into `DistributedFairseqModel`
- cf17068a: Simplify distributed launch by automatically launching multiprocessing on each node for all visible GPUs (allows launching just one job per node instead of one per GPU)

- no more FP16Trainer, we just have an FP16Optimizer wrapper
- most of the distributed code is moved to a new wrapper class called DistributedFairseqModel, which behaves like DistributedDataParallel and a FairseqModel at the same time
- Trainer now requires an extra dummy_batch argument at initialization, which we do fwd/bwd on when there's an uneven number of batches per worker. We hide the gradients from these dummy batches by multiplying the loss by 0
- Trainer.train_step now takes a list of samples, which will allow cleaner --update-freq

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

Release notes:
- 5c7f4954: Added simple LSTM model with input feeding and attention
- 6e4b7e22: Refactored model definitions and incremental generation to be cleaner
- 7ae79c12: Split interactive generation out of generate.py and into a new binary: interactive.py
- 19a3865d: Subtle correctness fix in beam search decoder. Previously, for a beam size of k, we might emit a hypotheses
           if the <eos> was among the top 2*k candidates. Now we only emit hypotheses for which the <eos> is among the
           top-k candidates. This may subtly change generation results, and in the case of k=1 we will now produce
           strictly greedy outputs.
- 97d7fcb9: Fixed bug in padding direction, where previously we right-padded the source and left-padded the target. We
           now left-pad the source and right-pad the target. This should not effect existing trained models, but may
           change (usually improves) the quality of new models.
- f442f896: Add support for batching based on the number of sentences (`--max-sentences`) in addition to the number of
           tokens (`--max-tokens`). When batching by the number of sentences, one can optionally normalize the gradients
           by the number of sentences with `--sentence-avg` (the default is to normalize by the number of tokens).
- c6d6256b: Add `--log-format` option and JSON logger
