Type-guided generation

[rlouf]

We currently support regex-guided generation, so that to return a date in the Python datetime format you would do:

import outlines.generate as generate

model = ...
result = generate.regex(model, "r'\s+(?=\d{2}(?:\d{2})?-\d{1,2}-\d{1,2}\b)'")

Instead we would like to be able to pass Python types:

from typing import List
import datetime

import outlines.generate as generate

model = ...
result = generate.type(model, datetime.datetime)
result = generate.type(model, List[str])
result = generate.type(model, int)
