Method to compute actions from observations (#991)
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
