This fixes an issue where stopping the game when training in the Editor won't end training, due to the new asynchronous SubprocessEnvManager changes. Another minor change was made to move the `env_manager.close()` in TrainerController to the end of `start_learning` so that we are more likely to save the model if something goes wrong during the environment shutdown (this occurs sometimes on Windows machines).

* micro optimizations
* add some timers
* cleanup, add asserts
* Cleanup (no start/end methods) and handle exceptions
* unit test and decorator
* move output code, add a decorator
* cleanup
* module docstring
* actually write the timings when done with training
* use __qualname__ instead
* add a few more timers

* Removes unused `steps` argument to `TrainerController._save_model`
* Consolidates unnecessary branching for curricula in
`TrainerController.advance`
* Moves `reward_buffer` into `TFPolicy` from `PPOPolicy` and adds
`BCTrainer` support so that we don't have a broken interface /
undefined behavior when BCTrainer is used with curricula.

SubprocessEnvManager takes steps synchronously to reproduce old
behavior, meaning all parallel environments will need to wait for
the slowest environment to take a step. If some steps take much
longer than others, this can lead to a substantial overall slowdown
in practice. We've seen extreme cases where we see almost a 2x
speedup from using asynchronous stepping, with no downside for our
faster environments. (Bouncer 16% improvement, Walker 14% improvement
in tests).
This PR changes the SubprocessEnvManager to use async stepping.
This means on the "step" call the environment manager will enqueue
step requests to workers, and then only wait until at least one
step has been completed before returning.
