* fix gitignore

* refine cmake file

* Add LoDRankTable

LoD Rank Table stores the `level` of `lod` which is ordered by sequence
length in descending order. It is useful when implement dynamic RNN and
is shared by dynamic RNN memory, dynamic RNN slice input and dynamic
RNN slice output operators.

* fix compile errorwq

* Implement FC layer with helper

* Update LayerHelper

* Add debug string for Python ProtoBuf

and Rename `Sync` to `Flush`

* Add check of ProtoBuf initialization

* Layer wrapper for FC

* Fix unittest

* Fix CI

* Add code generator

* AttributeChecker Better error log and speicalize bool

Since lots of types can be cast to bool

* Complete mlp, fit_a_line

* Expose get global scope

* Make global scope not thread-safe

1. It is no need to make global scope thread-safe, since it will be
invoked in Python main thread.
2. Do not free the global scope when C++ exit. Let the OS free memories,
otherwise, we need to handle the destroy dependencies.
