Using operators without having `transformers` installed

[Ronsor]

I'm currently trying to use just the operators defined in fla.ops; however, because of the __init__.py script for the main package, it's not possible to do this without importing things from the HF transformers package, which makes the import slower (and broke it entirely until I upgraded the package).

It would be nice if there were a way to just import the operators without the layer modules or anything else.

@Ronsor Hi, may I know why you need this. I think it's hard to use fla as well if transformers is unavailable. Currently this pkg is heavily tied with 🤗 transformers, e.g., we use its off the shelf utility fns to check Trion versions and raise some warnings and we alse make use of some activations in transformers.
