Implementation of L1, L2, ElasticNet, GroupLasso and GroupSparseRegularization

1. Publication available here: [https://towardsdatascience.com/different-types-of-regularization-on-neuronal-network-with-pytorch-a9d6faf4793e]
2. Implemented in pytorch. This is an attempt to provide different type of regularization of neuronal network weights in pytorch.
3. The regularization can be applied to one set of weight or all the weights of the model
