Nikhila Ravi f0dc65110a Shader API more consistent naming
Summary:
Renamed shaders to be prefixed with Hard/Soft depending on if they use a probabalistic blending (Soft) or use the closest face (Hard).

There is some code duplication but I thought it would be cleaner to have separate shaders for each task rather than:
- inheritance (which we discussed previously that we want to avoid)
- boolean (hard/soft) or a string (hard/soft) - new blending functions other than the ones provided would need if statements in the current shaders which might get messy.

Also added a `flat_shading` function and a `FlatShader` - I could make this into a tutorial as it was really easy to add a new shader and it might be a nice showcase.

NOTE: There are a few more places where the naming will need to change (e.g the tutorials) but I wanted to reach a consensus on this before changing it everywhere.

Setup

Install dependencies

pip install -U recommonmark mock sphinx sphinx_rtd_theme sphinx_markdown_tables

We want to include the root readme as an overview. Before generating the docs create a symlink to the root readme.

cd docs        
ln -s ../README.md  overview.md

In conf.py for deployment this is done using subprocess.call.

Add a new file

Add a new .md or .rst file and add the name to the doc tree in index.rst e.g

.. toctree::
   :maxdepth: 1
   :caption: Intro Documentation

   overview

To autogenerate docs from docstrings in the source code, add the import path for the function e.g.

Chamfer Loss
--------------------

.. autoclass:: loss.chamfer.chamfer_distance
    :members:
    :undoc-members:

    .. automethod:: __init__

Build

From pytorch3d/docs run:

> make html

The website is generated in _build/html.

Common Issues

Sphinx can be fussy, and sometimes about things you werent expecting. For example, you might encounter something like:

WARNING: toctree contains reference to nonexisting document u'overview' ... checking consistency... /docs/overview.rst:: WARNING: document isn't included in any toctree

You might have indented overview in the .. toctree:: in index.rst with four spaces, when Sphinx is expecting three.
