Richard Zou 41846e205e [torch.func] Setup torch.func, populate it with all transforms (#91016)
This PR sets up torch.func and populates it with the following APIs:
- grad
- grad_and_value
- vjp
- jvp
- jacrev
- jacfwd
- hessian
- functionalize
- vmap

It also renames all instances of `functorch` in the APIs for those docs
to `torch.func`.

We rewrite the `__module__` fields on some of the above APIs so that the
APIs fit PyTorch's public api definition.
- For an API to be public, it must have a `__module__` that points to a
  public PyTorch submodule. However, `torch._functorch.eager_transforms`
  is not public due to the leading underscore.
- The solution is to rewrite `__module__` to point to where the API is
  exposed (torch.func). This is what both Numpy and JAX do for their
  APIs.

  https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/90284#issuecomment-1348595246
  for idea and code
- The helper function, `exposed_in`, is confined to
  torch._functorch/utils for now because we're not completely sure if
  this should be the long-term solution.

Implication for functorch.* APIs:
- functorch.grad is the same object as torch.func.grad
- this means that the functorch.grad docstring is actually the
  torch.func.grad docstring and will refer to torch.func instead of
  functorch.
- This isn't really a problem since the plan on record is to deprecate
  functorch in favor of torch.func. We can fix these if we really want,
  but I'm not sure if a solution is worth maintaining.

Test Plan:
- view docs preview

Future:
- vmap should actually just be torch.vmap. This requires an extra step
  where I need to test internal callsites, so, I'm separating it into a
  different PR.
- make_fx should be in torch.func to be consistent with `import
  functorch`. This one is a bit more of a headache to deal with w.r.t.
  public api, so going to deal with it separately.
- beef up func.rst with everything else currently on the functorch
  documention website. func.rst is currently just an empty shell.
