>> reintegrated pydantic as hard dependency

>> moved all tests related to the ConstrainedSession class to a new test_constrained_session.py module
>> moved the ConstrainedSession class and related functions and classes to a new constrained.py module
>> simplified ModelMetaclass.__new__()
>> added skip_validation flag to _check_key_value(), __setattr__() and __setitem__()
>> updated test_create_constrainedsession_instance() and _test_io_cs()
>> fix larray-project#866 : added Parameters class
