changes:
-Breaks bc: Tensor::type() now returns DeprecatedTypeProperties& rather than Type&.
-Added DeprecatedTypeProperties, it serves as a temporary replacement for Type as the return value of Tensor::type(). This contributes to making Type just for dispatch purposes so that we can make it dtype agnostic.
-Tensor::dispatch_type() now returns Type& like Tensor::type() used to do.
-Changed callsites of Tensor::type() appropriately.

Summary:
Make it possible to construct a pinned memory tensor without creating a storage first and without calling pin_memory() function. It is also faster, as copy operation is unnecessary.
Supported functions:
```python
torch.rand_like(t, pin_memory=True)
torch.randn_like(t, pin_memory=True)
torch.empty_like(t, pin_memory=True)
torch.full_like(t, 4, pin_memory=True)
torch.zeros_like(t, pin_memory=True)
torch.ones_like(t, pin_memory=True)
torch.tensor([10,11], pin_memory=True)
torch.randn(3, 5, pin_memory=True)
torch.rand(3, pin_memory=True)
torch.zeros(3, pin_memory=True)
torch.randperm(3, pin_memory=True)
torch.empty(6, pin_memory=True)
torch.ones(6, pin_memory=True)
torch.eye(6, pin_memory=True)
torch.arange(3, 5, pin_memory=True)
```
Part of the bigger: `Remove Storage` plan.

Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/pull/13342
This PR introduces a few new concepts:
- DeviceGuardImplInterface, and implementations for CPU and CUDA, which
provide a generic interface for interfacing with device and stream state,
without requiring a direct dependency on the code in question.
- InlineDeviceGuard, a general template for generating both specialized
and dynamically dispatched device guard implementations. Dynamic
dispatch is done by specializing it on a VirtualGuardImpl.
- Provide a device-independent DeviceGuard class, which can be used even
from CPU code. It uses the aforementioned dynamic dispatch.
- CUDA-specialized CUDAGuard class, which doesn't have a dynamic dispatch
but can only be used from CUDA.
- StreamGuard, which is the same as above, but for streams rather than
devices.
- Optional variants of all the aforementioned guards, which are a no-op if
no device/stream is specified
- CUDAMultiStreamGuard, specifically for the case when we want to set
a device on every guard.
There are some subtle semantic changes, which have been thoroughly documented
in the class definition.
BC-breaking changes:
- Move constructor/assignment have been removed from all device guard
implementations.
- In some cases where you previously wrote 'set_device' (or 'set_stream'), you now must write
'reset_device', because if you switch devices/device types, the stream/device on the
previous device is unset. This is different from previous behavior.
- CUDAGuard no longer handles streams, or multiple streams. Use CUDAStreamGuard
or CUDAMultiStreamGuard as appropriate for your use case.

Summary:
Also, fix a performance bug in `ensureUnique`. Previously it formatted the warning string even though we weren't tracing, so all that work would *always* happen in the hot path and be for nothing.
A sample of how the new warnings look like:
```
tmp.py:4: TracerWarning: Converting a tensor to a Python integer might cause the trace to be incorrect. We can't record the data flow of Pytho
n values, so this value will be treated as a constant in the future. This means that the trace might not generalize to other inputs!
int(x)
tmp.py:5: TracerWarning: torch.tensor results are registered as constants in the trace. You can safely ignore this warning if you use this fun
ction to create tensors out of constant variables that would be the same every time you call this function. In any other case, this might caus
e the trace to be incorrect.
torch.tensor([1.])
tmp.py:6: TracerWarning: There are 2 live references to the data region being modified when tracing in-place operator add_. This might cause t
he trace to be incorrect, because all other views that also reference this data will not not reflect this change in the trace! On the other ha
nd, if all other views use the same memory, but are disjoint (e.g. are outputs of torch.split), this might still be safe.
torch.split(y, 2, dim=1)[0].add_(2)

Summary:
Many constructors like `torch.zeros` or `torch.randn` didn't support
size tracing correctly which is fixed by this pass. Same issue has been
fixed in legacy tensor constructors.
Additionally, new tensor constructors, which do not participate in
tracing (most notably `torch.tensor`, `torch.as_tensor` and
`torch.from_numpy`) raise a warning when they are used.
Finally, entering a traceable operation disables the tracing in its body.

We used getType to mean a lot of things.
- getVariableTypeFromBaseType: given a base Type (non-Variable type)
compute the Variable Type which corresponds to it.
- getVariableType: like at::getType, but return the Variable type
rather than the plain type.
This rename makes it clearer at the use-site what things are what,
and will make a subsequent rename of at::getType easier.

API additions:
- Tensor(c10::intrusive_ptr<TensorImpl,UndefinedTensor>&&)
- Tensor(const c10::intrusive_ptr<TensorImpl,UndefinedTensor>&)
- Tensor::operator=(Tensor&&) && (for completeness sake)
- TensorBase::unsafeGetTensorImpl()

- weak_intrusive_ptr::weak_use_count()
- c10::raw::intrusive_ptr::{incref,decref,make_weak}
- c10::raw::weak_intrusive_ptr::{incref,decref,lock}
API changes:
- Tensor::pImpl is no longer public (and now named tensor_impl_)
- Most methods accessed this way are now accessible on Tensor
maybe_zero_dim() and set_wrapped_number() being prominent exceptions
(they are now accessed through unsafeGetTensorImpl())
- Type is no longer friend of Tensor
- TensorBase::reset(TensorImpl*) is deleted
- TensorBase::reset(TensorImpl*, bool should_retain) is deleted
- TensorBase::swap(TensorBaseImpl&) is deleted; use std::swap instead
- TensorBase::get() is deleted; use unsafeGetTensorImpl() instead
- TensorBase::detach() is deleted; use unsafeReleaseTensorImpl() instead
- TensorBase::retain() is deleted; use _raw_incref() instead
- TensorBase::release() is deleted; use _raw_decref() instead
- WeakTensor lost most of its methods (it no longer inherits from
TensorBase)
- TensorImpl::storage() is now a const method
- Tensor(TensorBase) constructor removed, instead
we go through getIntrusivePtr(). I'm not sure about
this change; I happened to have accidentally removed the
TensorBase constructor and decided to fix call sites,
but I could go the other way.
- detail::set_data() is deleted; use Tensor::set_data() instead
- c10::raw_intrusive_ptr_target removed; use the functions in c10::raw instead.
(The reason for this change, is that it is invalid to cast an intrusive_ptr_target*
to a raw_intrusive_ptr_target* to take advantage of the methods. But there is
no reason the incref/decref methods shouldn't also work on intrusive_ptr_target;
it is primarily an API consideration. We can be more standards compliant by
keeping them as functions, which are universally applicable.)
- intrusive_ptr::reclaim() and weak_intrusive_ptr::reclaim() now work on
pointers of the NullType. (This counts as a bug fix, because the documentation
specified that pointers produced by release() are valid to reclaim(), and
a release() on a null intrusive_ptr produces the NullType::singleton())
Bug fixes:
- Dispatch code for mutable references incorrectly returned
a reference to a value argument (which would immediately
go out of scope). They now correctly return a tensor by
value.
- intrusive_ptr copy/move assignment did not work correctly when
an object was assigned to itself. We now check for this case and
no-op if so. (This bug manifested itself as a Tensor mysteriously
becoming an UndefinedTensor after lines of code like
'x = x.mul_(y)')
Other changes:
- The checked cast functions in Utils.h have now been
renamed and detemplatized into checked unwrap functions.
- Added type_id() and scalar_type() methods to Tensor
- pImpl is no longer public
- Documented what the && overloads are doing
- All occurrences of 'new TensorImpl' (and similar spellings, like 'new THTensor')
have been expunged. This is NO LONGER a valid way to create a new
tensor, and if you do this, upon your first incref, you will catch an ASSERT
failure saying that only tensors created by intrusive_ptr::release() are valid
to reclaim(). Use c10::make_intrusive instead in this situation.
- IValue is adjusted to use intrusive_ptr instead of Retainable, and all
other sub-classes of Retainable were modified to use intrusive_ptr.
When doing this, I had to make the constructors of sub-classes like
ConstantList public, so that c10::make_intrusive could invoke them. Fortunately,
if you incorrectly stack allocate a ConstantList, and then try to get an
intrusive_ptr to it, it will fail, as stack allocated ConstantLists have refcount 0.
- IValue very narrowly sidesteps the problem of handling NullType, as it
considers intrusive_ptr<TensorImpl> identical to intrusive_ptr<TensorImpl, UndefinedTensor>
which is not always true. This was always the case, but there's now a comment
explaining what's going on.
Some MSVC bugs were uncovered during the preparation of this patch.
They are documented as comments in the code.

Summary:
Supersedes #8925
This PR fixes#8502, it fixes the gradients problem for clamp when passing None to the function, and add support for the NoneLiteral and NoneType in script to enable clamp tests. Now we could have corner cases like:
```python
torch.jit.script
def func():
x = torch.randn(3, 3, requires_grad=True)
y = torch.clamp(x, None, 0) # max = 0
y = torch.clamp(x, min=None, max=0)
```
In both JIT and Aten, we use Scalar(NAN) as a sentinel value when passing None type to function clamp, this is the current way we used to support None type in JIT and to solve the gradient problem when user explicitly passing None into clamp.
In JIT side, we create a tensor(NAN) and undefinedTensor if we encounter None when matching the function schema, and later in the interpreter, it will translate to Scalar(NAN) if needed.
Ideally we don't need clamp_min and clamp_max in ATenNative/Autograd and could only support clamp after this change, but since bunch of other operators (e.g. Activation.cpp, Loss.cpp) is using clamp_min in several places, we will still have the functions available, but all python invocations will only call clamp instead of clamp_min/max (with calling underlying th_max/th_min in clamp).

* Remove requires_grad for doc.
* Separate cuda-ness from dtype.
There are no longer torch.cuda.int64, etc; only torch.int64 that correspond to at::ScalarType.
At the python arg parser level, the corresponding ATen type is selected from the combination of (ScalarType, Layout, Device).
There is also currently unused code in here for support ScalarType in native_functions; this will be used for specifying aggregate types
on reduction functions.

* Introduce torch.layout and split layout from dtypes.
Tensors (and tensor types) now have a 'layout' attribute that returns either 'torch.strided' or 'torch.sparse_coo'.
Previously, dtypes were 1-to-1 with ATen types/PyTensorTypes; the impetus behind this decision was to make things easy in the common case
(i.e. specifying a type in a factory function). But this doesn't really follow for sparity, which isn't a common case.
It also doesn't properly represent the concept or a dtype, which in numpy are proper scalar types (i.e. roughly the type returned from indexing the
last dimension of an n-d array). But this should be the same whether or not the tensor is represented via strides, sparsity, etc.
This is accomplished by:
1) having the dtype of tensor return the (device-type, scalar-type) combination, i.e. torch.cuda.float32, so both
torch.cuda.FloatTensor and torch.cuda.sparse.FloatTensor have the same dtype
2) Adding a layout parameter to python functions, where the combination of (dtype, layout) maps to an ATen type that is used for dispatch.

Notes:
1) I didn't add Tensor.new_sparse_coo_tensor; it didn't seem particularly useful, but it's easy to add
2) This doesn't do the type inference, i.e. torch.sparse_coo_tensor(indices=LongTensor, values=IntTensor)
will return a sparse tensor corresponding to the default type rather than a sparse IntTensor. We can add
type inference later when we add it to other factories.

This deletes most of the dead Tensor code paths, including the TensorMethods cwrap and generic/Tensor.cpp.
This also moves the THNN.cwrap/.cpp generation to generate_code which can use ninja if installed.
This replaces the torch.Tensor constructors with factories that produce
Variables. Similarly, functions on the torch module (e.g. torch.randn)
now return Variables.
To keep the PR to a reasonable size, I've left most of the unused tensor
code. Subsequent PRs will remove the dead code, clean-up calls to
torch.autograd.Variable, and rename Variable to Tensor everywhere.
There are some breaking changes because Variable and Tensors had
slightly different semantics. There's a list of those changes here:
https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/wiki/Breaking-Changes-from-Variable-and-Tensor-merge
* Add numpy-style dtypes to Variable factories.
1) Add numpy-style dtypes corresponding to torch tensor types. These are:
torch.float16, torch.float32, torch.float64, torch.uint8, torch.int8, torch.int16, torch.int32, torch.int64
as well as torch.cuda, torch.sparse, and torch.cuda.sparse equivalents.
2) Adds "legacy" names for the above dtypes that correspond more closely to existing tensor names. These are:
torch.half, torch.float, torch.double, torch.short, torch.int, torch.long.
torch.byte and torch.char don't exist because they either don't match numpy semantics or differ on different architectures.
3) Adds a "dtype" parameter to Variable factories (e.g. zeros, ones) that allows the user to specify the type without changing the default tensor type.
4) Adds a "dtype" getter to Variables that return the canonical dtype from 1)
This PR is missing the following useful features that should be added in the future:
A) We only add the "dtype" parameter to auto-generated factories; hand-written factories like in tensor_new.cpp don't support this yet.
B) We don't allow type conversions to use dtypes; that should be added to type(param) or a new function.
C) We don't yet have a "device" parameter for these factories; right now, they will only create Variables on the default device.
* backend_to_string can be private.
* Define python binding argument indexes in a more simple way.
* add all_declared_types, still need to hook it up to THPDType.
* Fix all_declared_types for missing types (it's Sparse + Half).
* Ensure cuda dtypes are created even if compiled with NO_CUDA=1.
* Fix case where dtype is provided but dispatch is via namespace.
This happens in ones_like, empty_like, randn_like.
There is some question if we should do:
1) at::ones_like(tensor).toType(dtype)
2) at::ones_like(tensor.toType(dtype))
I did the former because this matches with the numpy documentation, i.e.:
"Overrides the data type of the result." and it's easier to implement.
Note that the above causes an extra copy, either of the input or output.
Here's a better implementation:
1) Make zeros_like, ones_like native functions that take an optional type (named dtype?).
2) Match the type argument with the dtype, so we don't have two different parameters.
3) Call at::zeros_like(input, type) -> at::native::zeros_like(input, type) -> type.zeros(input.sizes())
* Don't return from maybe_initialize_cuda.
* Don't leak DType name.
* Address cpp review comments.
* Share code between sparse and non-sparse test_dtypes.
* Rewrite _like functions as native function with explicit type parameter.

* Remove double return.

* Work around lack of WITH_SCALARS.

Functions that create variables, e.g. torch.ones_like currently always return Variables with requires_grad=False;
this is less convenient than the existing Variable constructor that has a requires_grad parameter. This commit
adds the parameter at the python binding level.
* Fix flake8.
* Address review comments.
* Match set_requires_grad implementation with tensor_new version.
* Implement a (data-only) Variable factory.
Implements a function, torch.autograd.variable that is modeled after np.array. The main difference between it and new() and
the tensor constructors is it inteprets a python number as data, i.e. as a 0-dimensional tensor (we currently don't expose
that at the pytorchl level, so it will temporarily end up as a 1-dimensional tensor), rather than a size.
The main difference currently between torch.autograd.variable and np.array is that np.autograd.variable is stricter, e.g.
passing a PyFloat when an integral type is the default tensor type will result in an array; np.array basically lets anything
through (floating-point / integral mismatch, overflow, etc). This is to keep it consistent with Variable.new when called with
a sequence, although we can loosen the checks later.
This will be renamed to torch.tensor once we merge Variable and tensor.
* Address review comments.
This adds overrides in VariableType for the xxx_out ATen functions and
implements Python bindings. There is no support for automatic
differentiation. If any of the inputs (or outputs) requires grad, then the
function will throw an exception unless it's running in "no-grad" mode.
The bindings for calling torch.xxx functions on Variables are moved to a
different object. Previously, they were static method on VariableBase.
This change prevents users from accidentally calling static methods as if
they were instance methods.
