Buffer release before 1.0

This release is a buffer in case 1.0 breaks any compatibility for people who upgrade. 0.10.0 has all the bug fixes and features of 1.0 but is 100% backward compatible. The 1.0 release following in the next 24 hours.

Overview

The major changes are:

• Results objects are deprecated (we hated them too haha)
• This means dataflow and logging have been decoupled

To log:

def any_step(...):
   self.log('something', i_computed)

Separately, return whatever you want from methods:

def training_step(...):
  return loss

or

def training_step(...):
   return {'loss': loss, 'whatever': [1, 'want']}
