* Fix bug of reduce_sum op. When input.numel() > INT32_MAX, its result
is wrong.

pipeline_configs. If sent tensor are not the same from
different hosts, they shouldn't been sent partially and
then concated as a whole tensor.

* Change name allow_partial to enable_partial_send_recv.

* Add global variable _enable_partial_send_recv

is wrong.

* Support bfloat16 type for reducer and sharding.

* Fix some bug.

* Polish code.

* Polise code.
