When training a model, it's often useful to decay the
learning rate during training process, this is called
learning_rate_decay. There are many strategies to do
this, this module will provide some classical method.
User can also implement their own learning_rate_decay
strategy according to this module.

    This operator use the linear learning rate warm up strategy to adjust the learning rate preliminarily before the normal learning rate scheduling.
    For more information, please refer to `Bag of Tricks for Image Classification with Convolutional Neural Networks <https://arxiv.org/abs/1812.01187>`_

    When global_step < warmup_steps, learning rate is updated as:

    .. code-block:: text

            linear_step = end_lr - start_lr
            lr = start_lr + linear_step * (global_step / warmup_steps)

    where start_lr is the initial learning rate, and end_lr is the final learning rate;

    When global_step >= warmup_steps, learning rate is updated as:

    .. code-block:: text

            lr = learning_rate

    where lr is the learning_rate after warm-up.

    Args:
        learning_rate (Variable|float): Learning_rate after warm-up, it could be 1D-Tensor or single value with the data type of float32.
        warmup_steps (int): Steps for warm up.
        start_lr (float): Initial learning rate of warm up.
        end_lr (float): Final learning rate of warm up.

    Returns:
        Variable: Warm-up learning rate with the same data type as learning_rate.
