- The trainer and inferencer will load params from disk if param_path
  argument is not None in their constructor.

- Remove params.py, we will expose core.Scope to the user if needed
  (e.g., for GAN). Currently we will not expose it, unless we clearly
  know doing so can support GAN.

- Add `save_params` to Trainer (a TODO item).

- rename "network" to "program"

* "re-commit "

* "picked up"
