Some distribution (like SquashedGaussian) does not have an analytical form for the entropy. Thus PPO can not use such distribution in the training.
However, when entropy coefficient of PPO training is 0, ppo does not need to compute the entropy of the policy distribution.
This PR enables using SquashedGaussian and other distributions in PPO when the entropy coefficient is 0.
New implementation ignores the computation of entropy in policy training with 0 coefficient.
