This is almost same as #46959, except that in caffe2/torch/nn/parallel/distributed.py, BuiltinCommHookType should be imported conditionally, only when dist.is_available(). Otherwise, this Python enum type defined in caffe2/torch/scrc/distributed/c10d/init.cpp cannot be imported. See https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/47153
I tried to follow another enum type enum type ReduceOp defined in the same file, but did not work, because the C++ enum class is defined torch/lib/c10d library, but BuiltinCommHookType is defined in torch/csrc/distributed library. These two libraries are compiled in two different ways.
To avoid adding typing to distributed package, which can be a new project, I simply removed the arg type of BuiltinCommHookType in this file.

https://www.internalfb.com/diff/D24700959?src_version_fbid=270445741055617
Main Changes in V1 (#46959):
1. Implemented the Pybind part.
2. In the reducer, once the builtin_comm_hook_type is set, a c++ comm hook instance will be created in Reducer::autograd_hook.
3. Added unit tests for the builit-in comm hooks.

The peak memory usage of ddp comm hook has increased due to an extra copy of gradient tensors. To reduce the memory usage, decompress the fp16 tensor in place of the tensor stored in the the gradient bucket.

In this diff, we prepared some example DDP communication hooks [#40848](https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/pull/40848):
1\. `allreduce_hook`: This DDP communication hook just calls ``allreduce`` using ``GradBucket`` tensors. Once gradient tensors are aggregated across all workers, its ``then`` callback takes the mean and returns the result. If user registers this hook DDP results is expected to be same as the case where no hook was registered. Hence, this won't change behavior of DDP and user can use this as a reference or modify this hook to log useful information or any other purposes while unaffecting DDP behavior.
2\. `allgather_then_aggregate_hook` Similar to ``allreduce_hook``, this hook first gathers ``GradBucket`` tensors and its ``then`` callback aggregates the gathered gradient tensors and takes mean. Instead of ``allreduce`` this hook uses ``allgather``. Note that with W workers, both the computation and communication time scale as O(W) for allgather compared to O(logW) for allreduce. Therefore, this hook is expected to be much slower than ``allreduce_hook`` although both essentially do the same thing with the gradients.
3\. `fp16_compress_hook` This DDP communication hook implements a simple gradient compression approach that converts ``GradBucket`` tensors whose type is assumed to be ``torch.float32`` to half-precision floating point format (``torch.float16``). It allreduces those ``float16`` gradient tensors. Once compressed gradient tensors are allreduced, its then callback called ``decompress`` converts the aggregated result back to ``float32`` and takes the mean.
4\. `quantization_pertensor_hook` does quantization per tensor and uses the idea in https://pytorch.org/docs/master/generated/torch.quantize_per_tensor.html. Note that we separately send scale and zero_point (two floats per rank) before quantized tensors.
5\. `quantization_perchannel_hook` does quantization per channel similar to https://pytorch.org/docs/master/generated/torch.quantize_per_channel.html. The main motivation is that after the initial QSGD study diff, we realized that for considerably large gradient tensors such as a tensor that contains 6 million floats quantizing dividing it into smaller channels (512 float chunks) and quantizing independently may significantly increase the resolution and result with lower error.
