This PR fixes several problems in dy2stat for Deoldify model in PaddleGan.

In model, software engineer wrote if x.shape == y.shape, the Tenser shape is a tuple in dygraph so the == returns True/False, but in static graph the == becomes element-wise comparison, which is a different behavior. In this PR we reduce the element-wise comparison result.

If software engineer write computations which uses parameters in hooks, the static graph can loss the parameter variable because we put param_guard at forward of a Layer. In this PR we made param_guard cover pre-hook and post-hook.

In PaddleGan, software engineer calculated some parameter values in __init__ by running some dygraph code. Those code also run during dy2stat. So some variables may be assign as a VarBase (Tensor) first and then Variable, which raised an error. We fixed the bug in this PR by handling the case.

TODO: We just added testcase for the 1. shape comparison. Should add test case for 2. and 3. But since we are chasing 2.0RC, I will do it in the near future PR
