Use EasyBlock for PyTorch 1.3.1 and remove glog & gflags

[Flamefire]

As discussed in Slack and confirmed in pytorch/pytorch#44948 using those 2 is not officially tested and known to cause problems at least on POWER architectures

Hence the removal

Also updated to use the EasyBlock, promote Ninja to runtime dep and use EasyBuild installed protobuf (same as 1.4+ version ECs)

@boegelbot please test @ generoso

[boegel]

@Flamefire failing tests on POWER?

[Flamefire]

Yes, need to add the exclusions too. Let's see what it needs -.-

@Flamefire More? RuntimeError: test_nn failed!

[Flamefire]

Jep, kinda expected. Adding them one by one and it will likely be the same as 1.4.0 in the end. Still need to test them...

@lexming No idea why the CUDA test fails, another PyTorch bug? Ignore? Retry?

@Flamefire now it worked, the randomness of PyTorch tests is always baffling. Going in, thanks!
