When training a model, it's often useful to decay the
learning rate during training process, this is called
learning_rate_decay. There are many strategies to do
this, this module will provide some classical method.
User can also implement their own learning_rate_decay
strategy according to this module.

            linear_step = end_lr - start_lr
            lr = start_lr + linear_step * (global_step / warmup_steps)
    
    where start_lr is the initial learning rate, and end_lr is the final learning rate;
    
    When global_step >= warmup_steps, learning rate is updated as:
    
    .. code-block:: text
    
            lr = learning_rate
    
    where lr is the learning_rate after warm-up.
    
    Args:
        learning_rate (Variable|float): Learning_rate after warm-up, it could be 1D-Tensor or single value with the data type of float32.
        warmup_steps (int): Steps for warm up.
        start_lr (float): Initial learning rate of warm up.
        end_lr (float): Final learning rate of warm up.
    
    Returns:
        Variable: Warm-up learning rate with the same data type as learning_rate.
