Summary:
As discussed in https://github.com/facebookresearch/faiss/issues/685, I'm going to add an NSG index to faiss. This PR which adds an NNDescent index is the first step as I commented [here ](https://github.com/facebookresearch/faiss/issues/685#issuecomment-760608431).
**Changes:**
1. Add an `IndexNNDescent` and an `IndexNNDescentFlat` which allow users to construct a KNN graph on a million scale dataset using CPU and search NN on it. The implementation part is put under `faiss/impl`.
2. Add compilation entries to `CMakeLists.txt` for C++ and `swigfaiss.swig` for Python. `IndexNNDescentFlat` could be directly called by users in C++ and Python.
3. `VisitedTable` struct in `HNSW.h` is moved into `AuxIndexStructures.h`.
3. Add a demo `demo_nndescent.cpp` to demonstrate the effectiveness.
**TODO**
1. Support index factor.
2. Implement `IndexNNDescentPQ` and `IndexNNDescentSQ`
3. More comments in the code.
