This PR focus on some definition change of trainer to make it more friendly to use and be consistent with typical usage in research papers, typically change `collect-per-step` to `step-per-collect`, add `update-per-step` / `episode-per-collect` accordingly, and modify the documentation.
This is the third PR of 6 commits mentioned in #274, which features refactor of Collector to fix#245. You can check #274 for more detail.
Things changed in this PR:
1. refactor collector to be more cleaner, split AsyncCollector to support asyncvenv;
2. change buffer.add api to add(batch, bffer_ids); add several types of buffer (VectorReplayBuffer, PrioritizedVectorReplayBuffer, etc.)
3. add policy.exploration_noise(act, batch) -> act
4. small change in BasePolicy.compute_*_returns
5. move reward_metric from collector to trainer
6. fix np.asanyarray issue (different version's numpy will result in different output)
7. flake8 maxlength=88
8. polish docs and fix test

This PR separates the `global_step` into `env_step` and `gradient_step`. In the future, the data from the collecting state will be stored under `env_step`, and the data from the updating state will be stored under `gradient_step`.
Others:
- add `rew_std` and `best_result` into the monitor
- fix network unbounded in `test/continuous/test_sac_with_il.py` and `examples/box2d/bipedal_hardcore_sac.py`
- change the dependency of ray to 1.0.0 since ray-project/ray#10134 has been resolved
Add an indicator(i.e. `self.learning`) of learning will be convenient for distinguishing state of policy.
Meanwhile, the state of `self.training` will be undisputed in the training stage.
Related issue: #211
Others:
- fix a bug in DDQN: target_q could not be sampled from np.random.rand
- fix a bug in DQN atari net: it should add a ReLU before the last layer
- fix a bug in collector timing

Cherry-pick from #200
- update the function signature
- format code-style
- move _compile into separate functions
- fix a bug in to_torch and to_numpy (Batch)
- remove None in action_range
In short, the code-format only contains function-signature style and `'` -> `"`. (pick up from [black](https://github.com/psf/black))
1. add policy.eval() in all test scripts' "watch performance"
2. remove dict return support for collector preprocess_fn
3. add `__contains__` and `pop` in batch: `key in batch`, `batch.pop(key, deft)`
4. exact n_episode for a list of n_episode limitation and save fake data in cache_buffer when self.buffer is None (#184)
5. fix tensorboard logging: h-axis stands for env step instead of gradient step; add test results into tensorboard
6. add test_returns (both GAE and nstep)
7. change the type-checking order in batch.py and converter.py in order to meet the most often case first
8. fix shape inconsistency for torch.Tensor in replay buffer
9. remove `**kwargs` in ReplayBuffer
10. remove default value in batch.split() and add merge_last argument (#185)
11. improve nstep efficiency
12. add max_batchsize in onpolicy algorithms
13. potential bugfix for subproc.wait
14. fix RecurrentActorProb
15. improve the code-coverage (from 90% to 95%) and remove the dead code
16. fix some incorrect type annotation
The above improvement also increases the training FPS: on my computer, the previous version is only ~1800 FPS and after that, it can reach ~2050 (faster than v0.2.4.post1).
- Refacor code to remove duplicate code
- Enable async simulation for all vector envs
- Remove `collector.close` and rename `VectorEnv` to `DummyVectorEnv`
The abstraction of vector env changed.
Prior to this pr, each vector env is almost independent.
After this pr, each env is wrapped into a worker, and vector envs differ with their worker type. In fact, users can just use `BaseVectorEnv` with different workers, I keep `SubprocVectorEnv`, `ShmemVectorEnv` for backward compatibility.

Unify the implementation with multi-environments (wrap a single environment in a multi-environment with one envs) to greatly simplify the code.
This changed the behavior of single-environment.
Prior to this pr, for single environment, collector.collect(n_step=n) will step n steps.
After this pr, for single environment, collector.collect(n_step=n) will step m episodes until the steps are greater than n.
That is to say, collectors now always collect full episodes.
