* remove duplicate code and duplicate config of master+patch
* drop all ins which has conflict slot or size < merge_size
* user only need to set merge size，if ins num of same id is not equal to merge size, just drop these ins
* user must make sure master data and patch data has no same slot whose feasigns are both non-zero, otherwise these ins will be dropped. (slot list should still be the same of both master and patch)

fix squared_mat_sub_fuse_pass when elementwise_op input is from persistable param

fix the bug of conv_transpose cudnn kernel: before version 1.6, the data_format is AnyLayout in inference model. When use version 1.6 and load the model which is saved by previous version, the error occurs.  This is because the cudnn kernel in version 1.6 is not compitable with Anylayout setting.
