 * The expand method is same with ExpandConvLayer, but saved the transposed
 * value. After expanding, output_.sequenceStartPositions will store timeline.
 * The number of time steps are outputH_ * outputW_ and the dimension of each
 * time step is blockH_ * blockW_ * channels_. This layer can be used after
 * convolution neural network, and before recurrent neural network.
 *
 * The config file api is block_expand_layer.
