Fix bug to get metric from cmd when error happens(cudnn-function/_time:4)

**Description**
Analyzer: Fix bug in python3.8 due to pandas api change.

**Major Revision**
- force check numeric only in dataframe for analysis
- dataframe.append -> pd.concat

**Description**
This commit fixes wrong `torch.empty_like` usage and missing dtype and
device argument in communication wrappers.

Fix matrix size overflow issue when cast from int to size_t implicitly.

**Description**
Looks `grep cgroup /proc/filesystems` doesn't work for NDv4 whose cgroup
version is v1, but the result of this command got v2 for NDv4. Instead,
checking the file existence to judge the cgroup version.

Fix potential barrier timeout in init_process_group due to race
condition of using the same port. Change to different ports when running
multiple models sequentially in one process.
For example, when running vgg11/13/16/19, will use port 29501~29504
respectively.

**Description**

**Major Revision**
- revise micro_base to support running the remaining commands run when
one command failed in the microbenchmark
- make error tolerance as true in cudnn functions

number for perf test to improve the running efficiency.

**Major Revision**
- remove num_in_steps for warmup to support more flexible warmup setting
for users
- Add support to generate input with fixed number for perf test

**Description**

- Added stream benchmark
- Added stream unit test
- Added stream example
- Modified docker files to build stream
