Support Two-Stage CenterPoint

[VVsssssk]

This is a development requirement documentation of a feature we wish to collaborate with the community. In this issue, we wish to welcome the community developers to participate in the development of Two-Stage CenterPoint.

Steps

• First have a discussion with the mmdet3d team about the development plan. We can divide the full algorithms into multiple modules and add each module step by step in different PR.
• In each PR, add a sub-module of Two-Stage CenterPoint and add unit tests to test your code. The sub-module in this task can include a data converter, a data pipeline, or a component of the framework.
• Benchmark the performance when all modules have been added. The benchmark can be divided into two stages: first for inference and then for training.
• Prepare and release the models.
