Tentative learning branch (PrincetonUniversity#2623)

* • composition.py:
  - add learning_results Parameter
  - learn now returns single trial of results (to match run())
  - docstrings mods accordingly

• compositionrunner.py:
  - run_learning():
    - return last trial of execution (to match calls to Composition.run()
    - assign last epoch of results to Composition.learning_results

The following tests were modified to accomodate the new return for call to learn() per above:

• test_learning_output_shape()
• test_xor_training_correctness

STILL WORKING ON:
• test_xor_nested_train_then_no_train

* • composition.py:
  - Composition: added learning_results Parameter (used in compositionrunner.py)

* - test_force_two_control_mechanisms_as_OUTPUT():
      add ctl_mech_A to list of TERMINAL nodes

 THE FOLLOWING WERE modified to use new return value of compositionrunner.run_learning():
   - test_learning_output_shape():
   - test_xor_training_correctness:
   - test_semantic_net_training_correctness()
   - test_identicalness_of_input_types()
   - test_optimizer_specs()
   NEED WORK:
   J test_xor_nested_train_then_no_train()
      failing in _get_compilation_param(); problem with CompExecution_param_struct:
      {RuntimeError}(struct_89) <class 'RuntimeError'>: (struct_28) <class 'RuntimeError'>: (struct_5) <class 'TypeError'>: too many initializers
      ? due to addition of leraning_results Parameter to Composition?
   X test_call_after_construction_with_learning_pathway():
       FAILING DUE TO VALUE MISMATCH (from allclose-changes; not due to learning_results

* • compositionrunner.py
  - fix typo in run_learning()

* [skip ci]

• component.py
  - _get_compilation_params(): add learning_results to blacklist

* [skip ci]

• learning tests fixed to accomodate learning_results

* -

* • test_semantic_net_training_correctness(): add tolerance for testing

* • test_semantic_net_training_correctness():
   use pytest.helpers.llvm_current_fp_precision() == 'fp32' to accomodate tolerances
