Add "checkpoint()" method to lightningmodule

[williamFalcon]

Sometimes for debugging we want to produce a quick checkpoint to test loading or pretraining or something.

Maybe this would be useful as a way to generate dummy checkpoints or at arbitrary intervals.

model = LitModel(hparams)
model.checkpoint()

Although this would not have any of the trainer state
