Summary: Resubmit #20698 which got messed up. Idea is that when PyTorch is used in a custom build environment (e.g. Facebook), it's useful to track usage of various APIs centrally. This PR introduces a simple very lightweight mechanism to do so - only first invocation of a trigger point would be logged. This is significantly more lightweight than #18235 and thus we can allow to put logging in e.g. TensorImpl. Also adds an initial list of trigger points. Trigger points are added in such a way that no static initialization triggers them, i.e. just linking with libtorch.so will not cause any logging. Further suggestions of what to log are welcomed.

Note [TH abstraction violation] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TH/THC provide some hpp headers, which are proper C++ headers rather than C headers. These headers serve double duty as *internal implementation detail* headers, whose contents should largely not be used by external clients. Ideally, we would not install these headers at all; instead, you should use public functions (in headers like `THTensor.h`, NOT `THTensor.hpp`) to manipulate these structs. However, there are a few places in torch/csrc where we violate this abstraction. They are marked with a pointer to this note. Each of those sites will have to be refactored when we refactor the guts of THTensor and related structures.
