Matthijs Douze 1debb7d812 re-land mmap diff (#4250)
Summary:
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebookresearch/faiss/pull/4250

This is an attempt to re-land the diff stack D69972250  D70982449

It was reverted because the bottom of the stack did not pass the tests.

The original code comes from Alexandr Guzhva's  https://github.com/facebookresearch/faiss/pull/4199

To the adsmarket steward: the diff was already accepted by your team (see D70982449), but reverted for an independent reason. So should be easy to accept now.

Demos for a few Faiss functionalities

demo_auto_tune.py

Demonstrates the auto-tuning functionality of Faiss

demo_ondisk_ivf.py

Shows how to construct a Faiss index that stores the inverted file data on disk, eg. when it does not fit in RAM. The script works on a small dataset (sift1M) for demonstration and proceeds in stages:

0: train on the dataset

1-4: build 4 indexes, each containing 1/4 of the dataset. This can be done in parallel on several machines

5: merge the 4 indexes into one that is written directly to disk (needs not to fit in RAM)

6: load and test the index
