Highlights

This release fixes a severe bug causing inaccurate metric reports in multi-GPU training. Together with the fix, weights for all the text recognition models in MMOCR 1.0 architecture are released. The inference shorthand for them are also added back to ocr.py. Besides, more documentation chapters are available now.
