This PR adds a new method for getting actions from an env's observation
and info. This is useful for standard inference and stands in contrast
to batch-based methods that are currently used in training and
evaluation. Without this, users have to do some kind of gymnastics to
actually perform inference with a trained policy. I have also added a
test for the new method.
In future PRs, this method should be included in the examples (in the
the "watch" section).
To add this required improving multiple typing things and, importantly,
_simplifying the signature of `forward` in many policies!_ This is a
**breaking change**, but it will likely affect no users. The `input`
parameter of forward was a rather hacky mechanism, I believe it is good
that it's gone now. It will also help with #948 .
The main functional change is the addition of `compute_action` to
`BasePolicy`.
Other minor changes:
- improvements in typing
- updated PR and Issue templates
- Improved handling of `max_action_num`
Closes#981
Closes#914
Additional changes:
- Deprecate python below 11
- Remove 3rd party and throughput tests. This simplifies install and
test pipeline
- Remove gym compatibility and shimmy
- Format with 3.11 conventions. In particular, add `zip(...,
strict=True/False)` where possible
Since the additional tests and gym were complicating the CI pipeline
(flaky and dist-dependent), it didn't make sense to work on fixing the
current tests in this PR to then just delete them in the next one. So
this PR changes the build and removes these tests at the same time.
Preparation for #914 and #920
Changes formatting to ruff and black. Remove python 3.8
## Additional Changes
- Removed flake8 dependencies
- Adjusted pre-commit. Now CI and Make use pre-commit, reducing the
duplication of linting calls
- Removed check-docstyle option (ruff is doing that)
- Merged format and lint. In CI the format-lint step fails if any
changes are done, so it fulfills the lint functionality.

The new proposed feature is to have trainers as generators.
The usage pattern is:
```python
trainer = OnPolicyTrainer(...)
for epoch, epoch_stat, info in trainer:
print(f"Epoch: {epoch}")
print(epoch_stat)
print(info)
do_something_with_policy()
query_something_about_policy()
make_a_plot_with(epoch_stat)
display(info)
```
- epoch int: the epoch number
- epoch_stat dict: a large collection of metrics of the current epoch, including stat
- info dict: the usual dict out of the non-generator version of the trainer
You can even iterate on several different trainers at the same time:
```python
trainer1 = OnPolicyTrainer(...)
trainer2 = OnPolicyTrainer(...)
for result1, result2, ... in zip(trainer1, trainer2, ...):
compare_results(result1, result2, ...)
```
