linalg.norm (#187)
* implemented vector_norm in cpp

added linalg to mlx

* implemented vector_norm python binding

* renamed vector_norm to norm, implemented norm without provided ord

* completed the implementation of the norm

* added tests

* removed unused import in linalg.cpp

* updated python bindings

* added some tests for python bindings

* handling inf, -inf as numpy does, more extensive tests of compatibility with numpy

* added better docs and examples

* refactored mlx.linalg.norm bindings

* reused existing util for implementation of linalg.norm

* more tests

* fixed a bug with no ord and axis provided

* removed unused imports

* some style and API consistency updates to linalg norm

* remove unused includes

* fix python tests

* fixed a bug with frobenius norm of a complex-valued matrix

* complex for vector too

MLX
===
MLX is a NumPy-like array framework designed for efficient and flexible machine
learning on Apple silicon, brought to you by Apple machine learning research.
The Python API closely follows NumPy with a few exceptions. MLX also has a
fully featured C++ API which closely follows the Python API.
The main differences between MLX and NumPy are:
- **Composable function transformations**: MLX has composable function
transformations for automatic differentiation, automatic vectorization,
and computation graph optimization.
- **Lazy computation**: Computations in MLX are lazy. Arrays are only
materialized when needed.
- **Multi-device**: Operations can run on any of the supported devices (CPU,
GPU, ...)
The design of MLX is inspired by frameworks like `PyTorch
<https://pytorch.org/>`_, `Jax <https://github.com/google/jax>`_, and
`ArrayFire <https://arrayfire.org/>`_. A noteable difference from these
frameworks and MLX is the *unified memory model*. Arrays in MLX live in shared
memory. Operations on MLX arrays can be performed on any of the supported
device types without performing data copies. Currently supported device types
are the CPU and GPU.
