Update pyro.param to read event_dim from the constraint

See original GitHub issue

#1796 added an event_dim kwarg to pyro.param(), which #2323 used to support subsampling in AutoNormal and AutoDelta. However now that constraints have an .event_dim attribute (https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/pull/50547, https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/pull/50581), we can deprecate pyro.param’s event_dim kwarg and read that directly off the constraint kwarg.

I think event_dim kwarg has been used to decide if we want to subsample a parameter so if we follow this, we need a way to tell the inference algorithms that we want to subsample over a parameter.

Completely agree. Thanks,
