Framework Determinism Versions Save

This is a re-release of version 0.5.0, which was accidentally released with stale files.

In Seeder, add the ability to reseed generators with either

1. a different seed for each worker (the existing functionality) or
2. the same seed for each worker (added functionality).

Enhanced Functionality

• Add the Seeder tool for variance reduction. This is an experimental feature.
• Rename the distribution from tensorflow-determinism to framework-reproducibility and rename the package from tfdeterminism to fwr13y.
• Add fwr13y.d9m.tensorflow.enable_determinism, which makes a best-effort to enable determinism in whichever version of TensorFlow is being used.
• Add a script to find commits in the TensorFlow repo related to determinism.
• fwr13y.d9m.tensorflow.patch throws more specific exceptions.

Enhanced Testing / Higher Quality

• Test patched determinism over a wider range of stock TensorFlow and NGC TensorFlow versions.

Add patch availability for stock TensorFlow version 2.0, and test in eager mode.

This release includes a patch for standard TF 1.14.0 that enables most deep learning TF models to train deterministically on GPUs. GPU-determinism support in the NVIDIA NGC TF containers is also described.

New Functionality

• Add patch availability on TensorFlow version 1.15
• Print the version of tensorflow-determinism when patch is applied

Enhanced Testing / Higher Quality

• Test that patch will throw exception on non-supported versions of TF
• Test that patch will throw exception in NGC containers
• Test that patch works in Python 3
• Test that package will install when TensorFlow is not yet installed
