Which pytorch (and other package) versions are actually required about farm

[tholor]

Hey @johann-petrak, this is mainly precautionary and due to the fact that we don't actively maintain FARM anymore. In the past, there were quite some cases where even minor pytorch releases included breaking changes. So we rather opted for pinning a known working version here.

!pip install torch==1.10.0+cu111 torchvision==0.11.0 torchaudio==0.10.0 -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu111/torch_stable.html worked

Also clamping the transformers version is problematic since it has progressed a lot.
I updated to 4.21.0 without problem, but starting at 4.22.0 it becomes evident that farm was using the private function cached_path which got removed in 4.22.0, so things break.

transformers.utils.hub.cached_file from https://github.com/huggingface/huggingface_hub is probably the closest approximation
