  1. Remove functionality for BenchmarkRunner without ground truth (face…

    …book#2674)
    
    Summary:
    Pull Request resolved: facebook#2674
    
    Context:
    
    This is an alternative to D61431979.
    
    Note: There are benchmarks that do not use `BenchmarkRunner`, but I plan to have them all use `BenchmarkRunner` in the future.
    
    `BenchmarkRunner` technically supports benchmarks without a ground truth, but that functionality is never used, and there aren't any Ax benchmarks that are noisy *and* don't have a ground truth. It is not conceptually clear how such a case should be benchmarked, so it is better to not over-engineer for that need, which may never arise. Instead, benchmarks that lack a ground truth but are deterministic can be treated as noiseless problems with a ground truth, and we can reap support for problems without a ground truth.
    
    Also, `BenchmarkRunner` has some methods that must either be defined or not defined depending on whether there is a ground truth. They can't be abstract because they will not always be defined. With this change, we can make the ground-truth methods abstract and get rid of the rest.
    
    This PR:
    - Rewrites docstrings
    - Removes method `get_Y_Ystd`
    - Makes `get_Y_true` and other methods abstract
    - Removes functionality for the case where `get_Y_true` raises a `NotImplementedError`

  2. Introduce ParamBasedTestProblem for benchmarking (facebook#2675)

    Summary:
    Pull Request resolved: facebook#2675
    
    Context:
    
    In a future refactor that will enable more flexible and powerful best-point functionality, every BenchmarkProblem's runner will be able to produce an "oracle" value (possibly the ground truth) for any arm, in-sample or not, with a function like `BenchmarkRunner.evaluate_oracle(arm=arm)`, with the problem handling computation and the runner formatting results.  However, the current `BenchmarkRunner` and `BenchmarkMetric` setup currently doesn't cover every benchmark. Consolidating on `BenchmarkRunner` and `BenchmarkMetric` will enable the refactor, make it easier to universalize functionality like handling of constraints, noise, and inference regret, and will also allow for deleting some LOC for more custom problems.
    
    Current `BenchmarkRunner`s only handle problems that can consume tensor-valued arguments: BoTorch synthetic problems and surrogate problems. This isn't a good fit for problems like Jenatton that have a hierarchical search space and can have some parameters not passed. Because Ax always passes parameters and only sometimes represents them as tensors, a `TParameterization` is a more natural abstraction to handle parameters than a tensor.
    
    This PR:
    - Introduces `ParamBasedTestProblem`, which is like a BoTorch synthetic test problem but consumes a `TParameterization` rather than a tensor
    - Added `ParamBasedProblemRunner`, which shares a base class `SyntheticProblemRunner` and most functionality with  `BotorchTestProblemRunner` (so it is a `BenchmarkRunner` and supports both observed and unboserved noise).

  3. Migrate Jenatton to use BenchmarkRunner and BenchmarkMetric (facebook…

    …#2676)
    
    Summary:
    Pull Request resolved: facebook#2676
    
    This PR:
    - Has Jenatton use `ParamBasedTestProblem` so that it can use `ParamBasedProblemRunner`, and also have it use `BenchmarkMetric`; get rid of specialized Jenatton runners and metrics. This enables Jenatton to handle noisy problems, whether noise levels are observed or not, like other benchmark problems, and will make it easy to add constraints or benefit from other new functionality.
    - Does *not* clean up the now-unnecessary Jennaton metric file; that happens in the next diff.

  4. Move Jenatton test function to appropriate file (facebook#2679)

    Summary:
    Pull Request resolved: facebook#2679
    
    I didn't do this in the previous diff so that it would be easier to review.
