Not compatible with numpy >= 1.24.0

[amathews-amd]

🐛 Bug

Numpy >=1.24.0 deprecated np.float and similar aliases. See https://levelup.gitconnected.com/fix-attributeerror-module-numpy-has-no-attribute-float-d7d68c5a4971
Fairseq with newer versions of numpy fail with error AttributeError: module 'numpy' has no attribute 'float'

Environment

• fairseq Version (e.g., 1.0 or main): main
• OS (e.g., Linux): Linux
• How you installed fairseq (pip, source): wource

I'm having the same problem using fairseq 0.10.0 and numpy 1.24.2

For now, solution is to downgrade to numpy=1.23.3 while the package is updated:
np.float has to be changed to float throughout.
