* Add some of the trendy new optimizers. Decent results but not clearly better than the standards.
* Can create a None scheduler for constant LR
* ResNet defaults to zero_init of last BN in residual
* add resnet50d config
* reorganize train args
* allow resolve_data_config to be used with dict args, not just arparse
* stop incrementing epoch before save, more consistent naming vs csv, etc
* update resume and start epoch handling to match above
* stop auto-incrementing epoch in scheduler
* Support PyTorch native DDP as fallback if APEX not present
* Support SyncBN for both APEX and Torch native (if torch >= 1.1)
* EMA model does not appear to need DDP wrapper, no gradients, updated from wrapped model
* ModelEma class added to track an EMA set of weights for the model being trained
* EMA handling added to train, validation and clean_checkpoint scripts
* Add multi checkpoint or multi-model validation support to validate.py
* Add syncbn option (APEX) to train script for experimentation
* Cleanup interface of CheckpointSaver while adding ema functionality
* Do mixup in custom collate fn if prefetcher enabled, reduces performance impact
* Move mixup code to own file
* Add arg to disable prefetcher
* Fix no cuda transfer when prefetcher off
* Random erasing when prefetcher off wasn't changed to match new args, fixed
* Default random erasing to off (prob = 0.) for train
* factor out data related constants to own file
* move data related config helpers to own file
* add a variant of RandomResizeCrop that randomizes interpolation method
* remove old Numpy version of RandomErasing
* cleanup torch version of RandomErasing and use it in either GPU loader batch mode or single image cpu Transform
* create one resolve fn to pull together model defaults + cmd line args
* update attribution comments in some models
* test update train/validation/inference scripts
* All models have 'default_cfgs' dict
* load/resume/pretrained helpers factored out
* pretrained load operates on state_dict based on default_cfg
* test all models in validate
* schedule, optim factor factored out
* test time pool wrapper applied based on default_cfg
