* fix compile errorwq

* 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.
