Lower payload size threshold for stream handlers (#251)
Hotfix: we add "// 2" since hivemind==1.1.5 serializes bfloat16 tensors in float32, so they take 2x more space.

Fix dtypes in backend schemas (#99)
Currently, the schemas use `torch.float32`, so all inputs and outputs converted to float32 before sending and after receiving on both servers and clients. This creates a huge slowdown for the system.

* This PR makes the schemas use the server's `--torch_dtype` argument (default is `torch.bloat16` for BLOOM-176B)
* an option for client to request a specific output compression. Use case 1: client sends quantized inputs and expects quantized inputs in return. Use case 2: client uses quantization for gradients w.r.t. activations, but keeps grads w.r.t. __prompts__ as is for greater precision.
* a comment explaining the purpose of NoSpendingPolicy - since we likely won't have it for the workshop
* a test with custom compression (janky implementation for testing purposes)

Make Petals a pip-installable package (attempt 2) (#102)
1. Petals can be now installed using `pip install git+https://github.com/bigscience-workshop/petals`
    - In case if you already cloned the repo, you can do `pip install .` or `pip install .[dev]`
2. Moved `src` => `src/petals`
    - Replaced `from src.smth import smth` with `from petals.smth import smth`
3. Moved `cli` => `src/petals/cli`
    - Replaced `python -m cli.run_smth` with `python -m petals.cli.run_smth` (all utilities are now available right after pip installation)
4. Moved the `requirements*.txt` contents to `setup.cfg` (`requirements.txt` for packages is not supported well by modern packaging utils)
5. Increased the package version from `0.2` to `1.0alpha1`
