removed TrueFace model.
added SAEv2 model. Differences from SAE:
+ default e_ch_dims is now 21
+ new encoder produces more stable face and less scale jitter
before: https://i.imgur.com/4jUcol8.gifv
after: https://i.imgur.com/lyiax49.gifv - scale of the face is less changed within frame size
+ decoder now has only 1 residual block instead of 2, result is same quality with less decoder size
+ added mid-full face, which covers 30% more area than half face.
+ added option " Enable 'true face' training "
Enable it only after 50k iters, when the face is sharp enough.
the result face will be more like src.
The most src-like face with 'true-face-training' you can achieve with DF architecture.
added Intel's plaidML backend to use OpenCL engine. Check new requirements.
smart choosing of backend in device.py
env var 'force_plaidML' can be choosed to forced using plaidML
all tf functions transferred to pure keras
MTCNN transferred to pure keras, but it works slow on plaidML (forced to CPU in this case)
default batch size for all models and VRAMs now 4, feel free to adjust it on your own
SAE: default style options now ZERO, because there are no best values for all scenes, set them on your own.
SAE: return back option pixel_loss, feel free to enable it on your own.
SAE: added option multiscale_decoder default is true, but you can disable it to get 100% same as H,DF,LIAEF model behaviour.

added linux fork reference to doc/doc_build_and_repository_info.md
