This commit adds support for running Unity environments in parallel.
An abstract base class was created for UnityEnvironment which a new
SubprocessUnityEnvironment inherits from.
SubprocessUnityEnvironment communicates through a pipe in order to
send commands which will be run in parallel to its workers.
A few significant changes needed to be made as a side-effect:
* UnityEnvironments are created via a factory method (a closure)
rather than being directly created by the main process.
* In mlagents-learn "worker-id" has been replaced by "base-port"
and "num-envs", and worker_ids are automatically assigned across runs.
* BrainInfo objects now convert all fields to numpy arrays or lists to
avoid serialization issues.
Previously in v0.8 we added parallel environments via the
SubprocessUnityEnvironment, which exposed the same abstraction as
UnityEnvironment while actually wrapping many parallel environments
via subprocesses.
Wrapping many environments with the same interface as a single
environment had some downsides, however:
* Ordering needed to be preserved for agents across different envs,
complicating the SubprocessEnvironment logic
* Asynchronous environments with steps taken out of sync with the
trainer aren't viable with the Environment abstraction
This PR introduces a new EnvManager abstraction which exposes a
reduced subset of the UnityEnvironment abstraction and a
SubprocessEnvManager implementation which replaces the
SubprocessUnityEnvironment.
We have been ignoring unused imports and star imports via flake8. These are
both bad practice and grow over time without automated checking. This
commit attempts to fix all existing import errors and add back the corresponding
flake8 checks.
