[WIP] Qobj class, schema validation, and update backends to accept qobj #415

This is a replacement for two previous PRs (#144 and #326) that attempted to implement features related to qobj. In light of recent changes to the qiskit core, and recent changes to the qobj spec itslef, we are going to attempt to integrate qobj as an object in the qiskit flow, pass a serialized form of it to backends, and validate them against updated schemas.

@diego-plan9 and @ewinston can you please help port over the files from your previous PRs that we should have here? @atilag can you please ensure the jobprocessor and tests are up to date? I will work on the schemas and parsing of the results received from backends.

Description

Motivation and Context

How Has This Been Tested?

Screenshots (if appropriate):

Types of changes

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)

Checklist:

  • My code follows the code style of this project.
  • My change requires a change to the documentation.
  • I have updated the documentation accordingly.
  • I have read the CONTRIBUTING document.
  • I have added tests to cover my changes.
  • All new and existing tests passed.

Add placeholders and reminders for qobj class and validation (original
author: @ajavadia, rewrote the commit due to rebase).
Reintroduce a basic `QObj` class, along with subobjects and helper
classes, based on a simplification of the one introduced in Qiskit#144. The
required attributes in the specification are treated as mandatory
arguments for the constructor, leaving the optinal and the unspecified
as kwargs.
Revise the `QObjStructure.as_dict()` function in order to make it
generic (at the base class level) and recursive: the public attributes
of a structure are traversed, handling lists and delegating into each
subobject.
Use `SimpleNameSpace` for simplifying the handling of `kwargs` on the
constructors via standard Python facilities.
Update several QObj structures to reflect the current schema.
Add a test for QObj instantation and `as_dict()` comparison.
Revise `compiler.compile()` in order to return a `QObj` instance. The
functionality of the previous `compile()` (kept as `compile_non_qobj`
temporarily) is split into two helper functions (`_build_qobj`) for
isolating the handling of the compiler configuration and the creation
of the objects.
Update `JsonBackend` with the changes to the schema (`operations`
becomes `instructions`).
Update the `local_qasm_simulator` with the changes to the schema and
accepting a `QObj` at `run()`.
Update `Result` with the changes to the schema.
Make the `QObjStructures` pickable via `__reduce__`, in order to allow
passing them to the futures.
Update `QuantumProgram._run_internal()`,  `JobProcessor.run_backend()`
in order to pass QObjs to the backends. The rest of the codebase has
not been updated yet (in particular, the backends other than the QASM
simulator, and the tests), in order to focus on the functionality and
reconcile back when the rest of the branches are merged.

Closing this WIP in order to issue a new one without conflicts and with only the QObj implementation.

Fixes Qiskit#415

QEOM creates a dictionary of operators to evaluate on the groundstate.
When using the noisy simulators (qasm_simulator or aer_simulator), one
could either use PauliExpectation (with noise) or AerPauliExpectation
(without noise). PauliExpectation works with non-hermitian operators
but internal methods of AerPauliExpectation raised an Error.
This is a workaround to this limitation.
Note that using include_custom=True on qasm allows the VQE to use a
local AerPauliExpectation without using the "expectation" input.
This does not apply to QEOM and one should explicitly define the
"expectation" input of the VQE for it to apply globally.
