Plan for upgrading faiss-gpu

[yeoedward]

At the moment, OpenCompass depends on faiss-gpu==1.7.2. While newer versions of that package exist, they will no longer be released on PyPI because of package size limitations: faiss-wheels/faiss-wheels#83

This means that as long as OpenCompass depends on the PyPI package faiss-gpu, it will not support python > 3.10 and also can't incorporate any upstream updates to faiss. I realize this might not be a major problem, but I was wondering if you guys have thought of any long term solutions to this.

I hit this limitation because I tried installing OpenCompass in a python 3.11 environment, which results in a faiss-gpu not found dependency error.
