This is the second part of https://docs.google.com/document/d/12qP3x5uaqZSKS-A_kK0ylPOp0E02_l-deAbmm8YtdFw/edit#. After this PR, dashboard agents will fully work with minimal ray installation.
Note that this PR requires to introduce "aioredis", "frozenlist", and "aiosignal" to the minimal installation. These dependencies are very small (or will be removed soon), and including them to minimal makes thing very easy. Please see the below for the reasoning.
Uses a direct `pip install` instead of creating a conda env to make pip installs incremental to the cluster environment.
Separates the handling of `pip` and `conda` dependencies.
The new `pip` approach still works if only the base Ray is installed on the cluster and the user specifies libraries like "ray[serve]" in the `pip` field. The mechanism is as follows:
- We don't actually want to reinstall ray via pip, since this could lead to version mismatch issues. Instead, we want to use the Ray that's already installed in the cluster.
- So if "ray" was included by the user in the pip list, remove it
- If a library "ray[serve]" or "ray[tune, rllib]" was included in the pip list, remove it and replace it by its dependencies (e.g. "uvicorn", "requests", ..)
