Teach cmake how to find the installed PyTorch.

* In most situations, this eliminates the need to explicitly set a path to the Torch cmake files.
* Also upgrades to new Python3 find package. (should eliminate 2.x mismatches)
* Since PyTorch is located by asking Python where it is, this eliminates a lot of causes of mismatch. (one source of truth)
