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
* moved most FAISS_ASSERT calls to C++ exceptions, and adjusted
memory allocation to avoid mem leaks
* added an IndexIVFScalarQuantizer type that offers an
intermediate compression between IVFFlat and IVFPQ
* support removal of indices in IndexIDMap / IndexFlat combination
* various fixes in GPU code
