* while_grad_op first commit

* Add `BlockDescBind::FindRecursiveOrCreateVar()` and fix bugs

* not sure how to setdim of while outputs

* push for test

* add executor vlog

* fix bug of while_op cond

* 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

it is useful in gradient phase of an operator with block

* Init commit

* Make executor use ProgramDescBind

* Change Attribute from BlockDesc to BlockDescBind

* Since we will get the program desc in RNN, just BlockDesc is not
  enough.

* Add DeviceContext to Executor API

* Rewrite RNN

* Pass Python

* AddBiasOp does not care num_flatten_dims

* Stash

* Fix MacOS Compile

* Pass RNN forward

* add python test

* refactor test

* Make compile pass

* add gradopmaker

* First draft done

* Polish code

* add grad op maker and grad infershape

* Polish code

* Fix backward.cc bug

* Fix infershape

* Rename function

* add backward test

* simplify recurrent test

* Update

* Pass unittest

* rm checkpoint_op.cc

* rm test_checkpoint_op.py

* "get inputs outputs name from execution context"

* Saving each variable to a independent file

* Fix bugs

* Rewrite save_restore_op_test with new Python framework

* Move `SaveOp` and `RestoreOp` from OpWithKernel to OpBase

* Refine unit test of SaveOp and RestoreOp

* fix compile errorwq

* Unify `set_feed_variable` to one method

* Move global scope to python, not in C++

* Delete kid

* Delete local 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.
