[chore] [cleanup]: pytest, pytorch new versions, fix tests (#933)

* update pytest versions

* [test] test related changes

- upgrade to newer pytorch versions
- added function to make test more deterministic on A100 and TF32
- fixed some tests so that they are correctly skipped on a single GPU system

* more fixes

* formatting overly long lines

* format

* better test without trigger a warning

* fix an optim state bug with newer pytorch

- adam optimizer seems to return "step" as a singleton tensor now in the
nightly build
- this fixes it assumeing non-tensor value can still be loaded back by
the optimizer

* improve oss.py

- use min_loss for regression checking is a bit more reliable
- also increased the num epochs from 10 to 12

* small oss.py fix

* Update fairscale/nn/data_parallel/fully_sharded_data_parallel.py
