Allow to set a device when loading a model (#154)

* Added a 'device' keyword argument to BaseAlgorithm.load().
Edited the save and load test to also test the load method with all possible devices.
Added the changes to the changelog

* improved the load test to ensure that the model loads to the correct device.

* improved the test: now the correctness is improved. If the get_device policy would change, it wouldn't break the test.

* Update tests/test_save_load.py

@araffin's suggestion during the PR process

* Update tests/test_save_load.py

* Bug fixes: when comparing devices, comparing only device type since get_device() doesn't provide device index.
Now the code loads all of the model parameters from the saved state dict straight into the required device. (fixed load_from_zip_file).

* PR fixes: bug fix - a non-related test failed when running on GPU. updated the assertion to consider only types of devices. Also corrected a related bug in 'get_device()' method.

* Update changelog.rst

 Bug Fixes:
 ^^^^^^^^^^
 - Fixed a bug where the environment was reset twice when using ``evaluate_policy``
