Community API

Huge work to programmatically interact with the community tab, thanks to @SBrandeis !
It is now possible to:

• Manage discussions (create_discussion, create_pull_request, merge_pull_request, change_discussion_status, rename_discussion)
• Comment on them (comment_discussion, edit_discussion_comment)
• List them (get_repo_discussions, get_discussion_details)

See full documentation for more details.

• ✨ Programmatic API for the community tab by @SBrandeis in #930

HTTP-based push_to_hub mixins

push_to_hub mixin and push_to_hub_keras have been refactored to leverage the http-endpoint. This means pushing to the hub will no longer require to first download the repo locally. Previous git-based version is planned to be supported until v0.12.
