The new "fluid.data" changes old "fluid.layers.data":

1. Add shape and dtype check.
2. Remove "append_batch_size" parameter. We won't offer this in the new data layer because other deep learning platforms don't have this kind of data layer pre-processing. It may confuse users.
3. Remove "stop gradient" parameter because the data layer doesn't do back-propagation

TODO：
Now data layer feeded by executor is checked, will we want to check the feed data of readers in the future?

* add support of matmul with multiple head even different width and height

Original matmul with multiple head supports only the mat_a.width == mat_b.height,
in that case, mat_b will be horizontally split. In this patch, we extend the
support when mat_a.width != mat_b.height but mat_a.width/head_number == mat_b.height,
in this case, mab_b will be vertically split.

One example is A is [3, 8], B is [2, 16], head_number is 4. In this
case, A will be split as [3, 2], B will be (vertically) split as
[2, 4]. The final result will be 4 matrix of 4 matrix of [3,4], i.e. [3, 16]
