Summary:
Currently, it is not possible to access a sub-transform using an indexer for all 3d transforms inheriting the `Transforms3d` class.
For instance:

```python
from pytorch3d import transforms

N = 10
r = transforms.random_rotations(N)
T = transforms.Transform3d().rotate(R=r)
R = transforms.Rotate(r)

x = T[0]  # ok
x = R[0]  # TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'matrix'
```

This is because all these classes (namely `Rotate`, `Translate`, `Scale`, `RotateAxisAngle`) inherit the `__getitem__()` method from `Transform3d` which has the [following code on line 201](https://github.com/facebookresearch/pytorch3d/blob/main/pytorch3d/transforms/transform3d.py#L201):

```python
return self.__class__(matrix=self.get_matrix()[index])
```

The four classes inheriting `Transform3d` are not initialized through a matrix argument, hence they error.
I propose to modify the `__getitem__()` method of the `Transform3d` class to fix this behavior. The least invasive way to do it I can think of consists of creating an empty instance of the current class, then setting the `_matrix` attribute manually. Thus, instead of
```python
return self.__class__(matrix=self.get_matrix()[index])
```
I propose to do:
```python
instance = self.__class__.__new__(self.__class__)
instance._matrix = self.get_matrix()[index]
return instance
```

As far as I can tell, this modification occurs no modification whatsoever for the user, except for the ability to index all 3d transforms.
