* Several enhancement for code

1. Backward always infer shape & infer var type. Since there are RENAME
variables will be created when creating backward operator, but their
shape & var types are not inferenced.
2. Never use SomePtr-> directly, since every pointer could be nullptr if
it is a function return value. Add `detail::Ref` to cast pointer to
reference safely.
3. Enhance error message for backward.
4. Infer data type of variable in `sum` and `tensor_write`

* Fix bugs of while_op gradient

* Fix several bugs of while_op grad

* fix fill zeros like

* fix 3 >= 3

* fix place holder shouldn't be null

* fail on sum op

* Fix SumOp of TensorList

* clean up

* pass while test

* fix test_array_write_read

* pass sum op

* Support int/int64 for fill_constant_batch_size_like

* Fix compile

- Removed all main_program and startup_program in the demo.
- Using paddle.default_main_program() hides the implementation detail (e.g., using g_main_program) from the user, we can change the implementation in the future much easier.

* Stash

* Better debug message for IsInitialized

* Complete array read/write op unittests

* 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.

* 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.
