Pull request: Add test for torch>1.1
- Add test for torch>1.1
- Now the tested items are duplicated, so I changed the range
    - https://github.com/espnet/espnet/blob/34b21ca720d698de72d20b1d601ab4671d7badac/README.md
    - Travis-ci: only builds the documentation and codecov without testing with python=3.8.
    - Circleci: Testing of different OS with `conda`, Python=3.6, Pytorch=1.4
    - Github-actions: Testing of different PyTorch version with `pip`, ubuntu18, Python=3.7 or 3.8
- I removed the test for nightly. Maybe we don't need it?
- Fix #1832

@ShigekiKarita Would you check the CI error of `test/test_recog.py`?  I couldn't fix this.

Problem statement:
transformer bug in Pytorch 1.2.0
espnet/espnet/nets/pytorch_backend/transformer/mask.py 
`is_torch_1_2_plus = LooseVersion(torch.__version__) >= LooseVersion('1.2.0')
datatype = torch.bool if is_torch_1_2_plus else torch.uint8


def subsequent_mask(size, device="cpu", dtype=datatype):
    """Create mask for subsequent steps (1, size, size).

    :rtype: torch.Tensor

    ret = torch.ones(size, size, device=device, dtype=dtype)
    return torch.tril(ret, out=ret)
`
RuntimeError: "tril" not implemented for 'Bool'

pytorch 1.2.0 with GPU or CPU

Hints from issue discussion:
I thought that transformer is working on any pytorch versions.
Does it only happen in pytorch 1.2.0?

> I thought that transformer is working on any pytorch versions.

Yes，I test with 1.0.0 1.1.0 1.2.0 1.3.0 . It only happen in pytorch 1.2.0. Before 1.2.0 ,pytorch Tensor doesn't have Boolean Type, So it works. But when in 1.2.0, tril not implemented for Bool tensor. > 1.2.0 tril works for bool.
Many thanks.
Hmm. This is very strange...
Please check PR in #1840 
@kamo-naoyuki, thanks for taking care of it.

Commit message: add ci-test for pytorch>=1.2
