feat: Added the PipelineJob.from_pipeline_func method (#1415)

The new factory method reduces the pipeline submission boilerplate to absolute minimum.
```python
aiplatform.PipelineJob.from_pipeline_func(training_pipeline).submit()
```

What it does:

1. Compiles pipeline
2. Provides sensible default values for the pipeline display name, job_id, context etc.
3. Generates GCS directory for the pipeline output artifacts if needed
4. Creates the GCS bucket for the artifacts if it does not exist. (And gives the Pipelines service account the required permissions)

Example usage:

```python
def training_pipeline(number_of_epochs: int = 10):
    train_op(
        number_of_epochs=number_of_epochs,
        learning_rate="0.1",
    )

job = aiplatform.PipelineJob.from_pipeline_func(training_pipeline)
job.submit()
```
