Features:
- automatic tracking of C++ references in Python
- non-intel platforms supported -- some functions optimized for ARM
- override nprobe for concurrent searches
- support for floating-point quantizers in binary indexes
Bug fixes:
- no more segfaults in python (I know it's the same as the first feature but it's important!)
- fix GpuIndexIVFFlat issues for float32 with 64 / 128 dims
- fix sharding of flat indexes on GPU with index_cpu_to_gpu_multiple

- change libfaiss_c.a libgpufaiss_c.a targets to only include wrapper
impl
- include libfaiss_c.a on c_api `make all`
- build libgpufaiss_c.so with libfaiss_c.a instead of faiss_c .o file list
* [c_api] leverage index downcast
- make index downcast declaration+definition possible with macros
- use macros on existing index types
* [c_api] Add IndexLSH to C API
* [c_api] Add Index IO interface
- new header index_io_c.h for access to the index_io.h API
- function`faiss_write_index` and overloads for dumping index to a file
- function`faiss_read_index` and overloads for reading index from a file
- function`faiss_clone_index` for cloning an index
- update C example to save index to a file
* [c_api] Add IndexIDMap and IndexShards API
