Add support for sparse fake tensors.
- The testing strategy is to run a fake tensor cross ref test on `test_sparse.py`. This is necessary because OpInfo sparse coverage is completely nonexistent. We could have tried to turn on cross ref testing globally for all files, but that would be very time consuming and the tests I'm interested in are mostly in this file. There are some exclusions in testing for things that don't work.
- I make fake tensor converter raise a UnsupportedFakeTensorException if the meta converter fails to do a conversion (which can happen in a relatively large number of situations).
- I relax fake tensor invariants so that you can make a fake tensor from a meta tensor. This is useful because in the cross ref test sometimes we operate on meta tensors.
- Fake tensor wrapping is improved to handle the case when a function doesn't return any tensors
- Meta converter is taught how to convert sparse tensors to meta
There's still a little more cleanup that needs to be done, but this is good for review.

Make `MetaConverter` and `FakeTensorConverter` hold weak references to their memoized tensors, and also have `MetaConverter` hold weak reference to Tensor storage. Otherwise it can be tricky for users to make sure all existing FakeTensors or FakeTensorModes are deleted which otherwise will leak memory.
I ran into https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/7733 which I was able to get around with the following (see comment from code):
```
# torch.Tensors cannot be used as a key in a dictionary
# because they define a custom __eq__ function which when used
# to resolve hash collisions will throw when comparing tensors:
# "RuntimeError: bool value of Tensor with more than one value is ambiguous."
# To avoid that, we use an object which will hold a Tensor and use
# its id for both hashing and equality.
# In order to use this as a weak key reference, we cannot
# simply use weakref.WeakKeyDictionary because the newly constructed
# WeakTensorRefKey only use would be a dictionary so it would have no strong
# references.
# To get around this issue, we can use it as a normal key, and then set
# `weakref.finalize` to delete the key when its contained tensor dies.
```
While for the tensor memo we can set a `weakref.finalize` callback that will remove the corresponding `WeakTensorRefKey` from the tensor memo, at the point that this callback is invoked the tensor storage is not yet deallocated.. See comment from code:
```
# [expired-storages]
# NB: even though the tensor has died,
# the deallocation of its storage can take longer,
# even when the storage has no other uses/views.
# In this case, the StorageWeakRef object will be kept alive
# longer than it needs to be, however the storage itself
# will be deallocated. We retain the possibly dead storages
# and periodically check if any of them are expired and
# can be freed.
```
