We want users to be able to define custom ops in C++ but put the
abstract impl in Python (since it is easier to write them in Python and
the abstract impl better models device semantics and data-dependent
operators).
`m.impl_abstract_pystub(opname, python_module, context)` declares the
abstract_impl of the operator to exist in the given python module.
When the abstract_impl needs to be accessed (either via FakeTensor or
Meta), and it does not exist, the PyTorch Dispatcher will yell
with a descriptive error message.
Some details:
- We construct a new global AbstractImplPyStub mapping in
Dispatcher.cpp. Read/write to this map is protected by the Dispatcher
lock.
- We add a new Meta Tensor fallback kernel. The fallback errors out if there is
no meta kernel, but also offers a nicer error message if we see that there is
a pystub.
- We create a `torch._utils_internal.throw_abstract_impl_not_imported_error`
helper function to throw errors. This way, we can throw different error
messages in OSS PyTorch vs internal PyTorch. To invoke this from C++, we
added a PyInterpreter::throw_abstract_impl_not_imported_error.
