Summary:
In D64147797, I attempted to modernize our custom function shape registration using torch's register_fake, which has a bit better support than cpp meta registration. Although I think the motivation still is good, this diff introduced a significant number of complexities due to python being more brittle.
Ultimately, I think it was a failure and made fbgemm custom ops harder to integrate broadly. In this diff, I revert custom operator shape registration to using CPP. We still are a bit improved over our previous state as we dropped the catch-all registration that prevented custom op compatibility with torch.export.
