The goals of these changes are:
- Make Petals work in Colab right after just doing `pip install -r requirements.txt`
- Make tests work independently of the protobuf package version chosen while installing dependencies
- Before this PR, `ServerState.JOINING` was announced only once. This announcement quickly expires in case of the full-size BLOOM, since loading blocks takes several minutes. This PR fixes it, so `ServerState.JOINING` is announced periodically in a thread until blocks are loaded.
- This PR also makes the `Server` class a non-thread, so it runs in the main thread and can catch `KeyboardInterrupt`. This is important, since if we are downloading blocks right now, we need to stop it and send the `ServerState.OFFLINE` message. Note that `ModuleContainer` is still a thread.
- (minor) For the sake of readability, I moved the `ModuleContainer.create()` definition, so it is now defined before `Server.__init__()` (this is because `.create()` is invoked first).
This PR makes servers and clients use public swarm's bootstrap peers if no other initial peers are specified.
If you'd like a server to start a new swarm, provide the `--new_swarm` CLI argument.
- run_server now accepts model name as both positional and keyword argument
- changed names in README to account for interface updates
- moved model conversion from README to a separate wiki page
- updated requirements.txt

Previously, attempting to allocate with MemoryCache that does not have enough space would throw AllocationFailed.
PR changes this behavior to the following:
- by default, wait until memory is freed by other tenants (FIFO)
- if could not allocate within timeout, throw AllocationFailed
- if allocated size is too big to fit even in empty cache, throw AllocationFailed
- [x] passes existing tests
- [x] passes manual load tests
p.s. if anyone wondered: using mp.Condition will not make the code simpler, their lock behavior is slightly different to what we need here

- Maximum length is now provided in `.inference_session(max_length=100)`
- previously, we would always assume max length = 2048
- added a generic way to forward **kwargs to inference session
- for compatibility with #47
- Note to @borzunov : it does *not* pass them arbitrarily, but instead checks for kwarg names at the bottom level
- run_server can be started with a custom max_length for inference
- renamed --cache_size_bytes to --attention_cache_bytes (to avoid collision with --cache_dir)
- --attn_cache_bytes can now support humane file sizes (e.g. 300MB instead of 314572800)
- made some server-side errors more human-readable to user (e.g. when max length is exceeded)
