This reverts commit eb1aa015.

* Refine

* Fix unit test

* Init

* unify layer names

* Update

* Add pool2d layer

* Test recognize_digits_conv

* Clean up

* 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.

* initial matmul operator

Similar to np.matmul, but also has transpose_X and transpose_Y flags,
and only supports tensors from rank 1 to 3 inclusive.

For GPU, uses cublas?gemmStridedBatched. For CPU, uses
cblas_?gemm_batch if available via MKL; otherwise a simple serial
implementation that loops over the batch dimension is employed for now.
