    An Executor in Python, supports single/multiple-GPU running,

    adds feed operators and fetch operators to this program according
    to feed map and fetch_list. Feed map provides input data for the
    program. fetch_list provides the variables(or names) that user wants
    to get after program runs. Note: the executor will run all operators
    in the program but not only the operators dependent by the fetch_list.
    It stores the global variables into the global scope, and creates a
    local scope for the temporary variables. The contents in local scope
    may be discarded after every minibatch forward/backward finished.
