Allow manually saving checkpoints about xva-trainer

[DanRuta]

checkpoints should be written to disk every 50 iterations, not 2500. Unless I'm mis-understanding something

This looks like 2500 to me (or 50*50), unless I'm misunderstanding something.

Some of the checkpoints need 1.5 hours or more (I guess it depends on the train data samples length).

Ah, what is your batch size set to? 1.5 hours sounds like a lot, between checkpoints. Should be a few minutes - depends on your hardware also

I don't have top-notch hardware, it's an RTX 2060 with 12 GB of VRAM. The batch size which maximizes VRAM usage is 8. Anything above that results in an OOM at some time. I usually see the first checkpoint to be saved after 35-40 minutes, the next one after about 1h15m, and then it stays around 1h30-1h45 for each checkpoint. It's not a rig built for AI, so it's fine if you're not considering it to be an issue. I just like to fool around with AI stuff.
