* Add a class TensorInplaceVersion to count the inplace version and put it in framework::Tensor instead of Allocation or Variable.

* Add a new attribute `_inplace_version` for VarBase.

* Raise exception if an inplace operation can result in incorrect gradient computation.

* Add a new interface _bump_inplace_version() for VarBase to bump the version whenever the Tensor is modified through an inplace operation.

* For api assign, call _bump_inplace_version() when it's an inplace operation inn dynamic mode.

* Use original var_wrapper if the inplace_version is not changed.

* Replace SnapshotVarWrapperList with SnapshotVarWrapper to optimize performane.

* update, test=develop

GridGenerator model failed because the output shape of `linspace` is (-1). The reason is that C++ InferShape fixes the shape to (-1): 

https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/5da3d514ebaa6fffd48c4a2e6bb5b16268dae92e/paddle/fluid/operators/linspace_op.cc#L49

We cannot set the shape in C++ infer shape because this Tensor may not be initialized during compile time, but when input `num` of `linspace` is an integer, we know the shape at compiler time. This PR simply set the shape in Python and add GridGenerator as unittest.
