What does this PR do?

Part of #10329

Adds support for re-instantiating custom DataLoaders in Lightning, a feature that was recently added to Lite first in #10279.

  • The utilities in Lite were moved to general data utilities
  • The place in Lightning where we call *_dataloader on the LightningModule or DataModule gets wrapped with a context manager.

Limitations:
The patching will only work if the DataLoader gets instantiated inside the *_dataloader methods.
The custom DataLoader needs to be compatible with the patching, i.e., it needs to allow Lightning to write the arguments to it's dict.

@awaelchli This is really cool. This comes in handy with our custom data loaders in PyG. Thank you!

One issue I ran into is the use of "nested inheritance" of data loaders:

torch.utils.data.DataLoader
       |
MyBaseDataLoader
       |
MyFinalLoader

This seems to do some weird things in the _replace_dataloader_init_method context manager since we overwrite the __init__ function of both data loader classes. I can try to set up a reproducible example later.

Hi @rusty1s! Glad that you find it useful, we actually worked on this with PyG as a motivation.

Happy to take a look once you define what those "weird things" are. You can find existing tests here if you are interested in poking at it yourself:

Also, it would be better if you can open a new issue once you have a repro. Thank you!
