Fixes#3983
Mimicing what we do for saving and loading VectorDBQA chain, I added the
logic for RetrievalQA chain.
Also added a unit test. I did not find how we test other chains for
their saving and loading functionality, so I just added a file with one
test case. Let me know if there are recommended ways to test it.
