…ytorch#7769)

`is_tensor` doesn't really have a reason to exist anymore (other than
backwards compatibility) and is worse for typechecking with mypy (see
pytorchgh-32824). Given that it may not be obvious what the fix is once mypy
gives an error, make the change in a number of places at once, and add
a note on this to the `is_tensor` docstring.

Recommending an isinstance check instead has been done for quite a
while, e.g. pytorch#7769 (comment)
