feat: SpectralConv2d, SpectralConvTranspose2d

Introduced in
["Efficient Nonlinear Transforms for Lossy Image Compression"][Balle2018efficient]
by Johannes Ballé, PCS 2018.
Reparameterizes the weights to be derived from weights stored in the
frequency domain.
In the original paper, this is referred to as "spectral Adam" or "Sadam"
due to its effect on the Adam optimizer update rule.
The motivation behind representing the weights in the frequency domain
is that optimizer updates/steps may now affect all frequencies to an
equal amount.
This improves the gradient conditioning, thus leading to faster
convergence and increased stability at larger learning rates.

For comparison, see the TensorFlow Compression implementations of
[`SignalConv2D`] and [`RDFTParameter`].
They seem to use `SignalConv2d` in most of their provided architectures:
https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Atensorflow%2Fcompression+Conv2D&type=code

Furthermore, since this is a simple invertible transformation on the
weights, it is trivial to convert any existing pretrained weights into
this form via:

```python
weight_transformed = self._to_transform_domain(weight)
```

To override `self.weight` as a property, I'm unregistering the module
using `del self._parameters["weight"]` as shown in
pytorch/pytorch#46886, and also
[using the fact][property-descriptor-so] that `@property`
[returns a descriptor object][property-descriptor-docs]
so that `self.weight` "falls back" to the property.

```python
    def __init__(self, ...):
        self.weight_transformed = nn.Parameter(self._to_transform_domain(self.weight))
        del self._parameters["weight"]  # Unregister weight, and fallback to property.

    @Property
    def weight(self) -> Tensor:
        return self._from_transform_domain(self.weight_transformed)
```
