nnictl --version does not work with make dev-install

[QuanluZhang]

In make dev-install, nni python package is not installed (using sym link instead), thus, nnictl --version cannot find nni's version.

new observation: after make dev-install using nnictl --verison:

nnictl --version

Traceback (most recent call last):

seems related to this pypi issue: pypa/pip#3160

The master branch has not fixed it yet. I met the same problem just now.
I solve this problem by reinstall nni-tool by myself.

will resolve this issue in v0.7
