* Don't allow requires_grad to be set on integer Tensor constructors in tensor_new.
* Fix autograd test.
* Fix test_distributions.
* Fix test_jit.
* Fix NN tests.
* Implement torch.as_tensor, similar to numpy.asarray.
torch.as_tensor behaves like torch.tensor except it avoids copies if possible; so also somewhat like tensor.new but without the size overloads.
I didn't add a requires_grad field, because we haven't decided on the semantics such as as_param.
* Remove requires_grad for doc.
* Separate cuda-ness from dtype.
There are no longer torch.cuda.int64, etc; only torch.int64 that correspond to at::ScalarType.
At the python arg parser level, the corresponding ATen type is selected from the combination of (ScalarType, Layout, Device).
There is also currently unused code in here for support ScalarType in native_functions; this will be used for specifying aggregate types
on reduction functions.
* Fix test_autograd.
* Add defaults to randint_like.
* Track is_cuda in py tensor types.
* Fix test_sparse.
* Fix multiprocessing.
* Fix rnn.
* Fix test_nn.
* Fix flake8.
* Introduce torch.layout and split layout from dtypes.
Tensors (and tensor types) now have a 'layout' attribute that returns either 'torch.strided' or 'torch.sparse_coo'.
Previously, dtypes were 1-to-1 with ATen types/PyTensorTypes; the impetus behind this decision was to make things easy in the common case
(i.e. specifying a type in a factory function). But this doesn't really follow for sparity, which isn't a common case.
It also doesn't properly represent the concept or a dtype, which in numpy are proper scalar types (i.e. roughly the type returned from indexing the
last dimension of an n-d array). But this should be the same whether or not the tensor is represented via strides, sparsity, etc.
This is accomplished by:
1) having the dtype of tensor return the (device-type, scalar-type) combination, i.e. torch.cuda.float32, so both
torch.cuda.FloatTensor and torch.cuda.sparse.FloatTensor have the same dtype
2) Adding a layout parameter to python functions, where the combination of (dtype, layout) maps to an ATen type that is used for dispatch.

* Fix cuda not enabled error message.
* Fix test.
* Add numpy.array-like type inference to torch.tensor.
* Temporary fix for int/double types.
* Treat python floats as the default (scalar) dtype.
* Also make 0-length sequences the default scalar type and add more tests.

* Remove allow_variables.
* Check numpy platform bits.
* Address review comments.
* Make suggested changes to constraints.
* More checking windows builds.
* Fix test for windows.
* Add torch.sparse_coo_tensor factory.
Notes:
1) I didn't add Tensor.new_sparse_coo_tensor; it didn't seem particularly useful, but it's easy to add
2) This doesn't do the type inference, i.e. torch.sparse_coo_tensor(indices=LongTensor, values=IntTensor)
will return a sparse tensor corresponding to the default type rather than a sparse IntTensor. We can add
type inference later when we add it to other factories.
* Fix merge.
* Use type_conversion function from python_variable_methods.

* Support native namespace functions with type dispatch.
Use 'ones' as an example. Note this is a "halfway" solution; i.e. the call chain is:
at::ones(shape, dtype) -> dtype.ones(shape, dtype) -> CPUFloatType.ones(shape, dtype) -> at::native::ones(shape, dtype)
The "nicer" solution would probably be something like:
at::ones(shape, dtype) -> dtype.ones(shape) -> CPUFloatType.ones(shape) -> at::native::ones(shape, this)

* Call VariableType factory methods from the base type so it gets version number 0.

This deletes most of the dead Tensor code paths, including the TensorMethods cwrap and generic/Tensor.cpp.
This also moves the THNN.cwrap/.cpp generation to generate_code which can use ninja if installed.
This replaces the torch.Tensor constructors with factories that produce
Variables. Similarly, functions on the torch module (e.g. torch.randn)
now return Variables.
To keep the PR to a reasonable size, I've left most of the unused tensor
code. Subsequent PRs will remove the dead code, clean-up calls to
torch.autograd.Variable, and rename Variable to Tensor everywhere.
There are some breaking changes because Variable and Tensors had
slightly different semantics. There's a list of those changes here:
https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/wiki/Breaking-Changes-from-Variable-and-Tensor-merge
* Add numpy-style dtypes to Variable factories.
1) Add numpy-style dtypes corresponding to torch tensor types. These are:
torch.float16, torch.float32, torch.float64, torch.uint8, torch.int8, torch.int16, torch.int32, torch.int64
as well as torch.cuda, torch.sparse, and torch.cuda.sparse equivalents.
2) Adds "legacy" names for the above dtypes that correspond more closely to existing tensor names. These are:
torch.half, torch.float, torch.double, torch.short, torch.int, torch.long.
torch.byte and torch.char don't exist because they either don't match numpy semantics or differ on different architectures.
3) Adds a "dtype" parameter to Variable factories (e.g. zeros, ones) that allows the user to specify the type without changing the default tensor type.
4) Adds a "dtype" getter to Variables that return the canonical dtype from 1)
This PR is missing the following useful features that should be added in the future:
A) We only add the "dtype" parameter to auto-generated factories; hand-written factories like in tensor_new.cpp don't support this yet.
B) We don't allow type conversions to use dtypes; that should be added to type(param) or a new function.
C) We don't yet have a "device" parameter for these factories; right now, they will only create Variables on the default device.
* backend_to_string can be private.
* Define python binding argument indexes in a more simple way.
* add all_declared_types, still need to hook it up to THPDType.
* Fix all_declared_types for missing types (it's Sparse + Half).
* Ensure cuda dtypes are created even if compiled with NO_CUDA=1.
* Fix case where dtype is provided but dispatch is via namespace.
This happens in ones_like, empty_like, randn_like.
There is some question if we should do:
1) at::ones_like(tensor).toType(dtype)
2) at::ones_like(tensor.toType(dtype))
I did the former because this matches with the numpy documentation, i.e.:
"Overrides the data type of the result." and it's easier to implement.
Note that the above causes an extra copy, either of the input or output.
Here's a better implementation:
1) Make zeros_like, ones_like native functions that take an optional type (named dtype?).
2) Match the type argument with the dtype, so we don't have two different parameters.
3) Call at::zeros_like(input, type) -> at::native::zeros_like(input, type) -> type.zeros(input.sizes())
* Don't return from maybe_initialize_cuda.
* Don't leak DType name.
* Address cpp review comments.
* Share code between sparse and non-sparse test_dtypes.
* Rewrite _like functions as native function with explicit type parameter.
* Use type 'Type' instead of 'dtype' for consistency.
* Address review comments.
* Handle arg_idx when there is requires_grad but no dtype in python_binding_arguments.
* Improve Variable interface
* Address comments from @apaszke and @colesbury
* string ::operator= is not noexcept
* Remove ir.h from tracer_state.h to improve build times
* Make Variable a struct and pack SavedVariable fields
* Implement as_variable_ref
* grad_fn_ptr() -> grad_fn_unsafe()
* Reduce hackiness of set_type hack
* Include variable.h and edge.h in tracer_state.h because it uses them
* class Variable -> struct Variable because Windows cant even
* Make Variable::output_nr uint32_t instead of int
* Add comment about tracing state
* Replaced more static_cast<Variable&> and improve docs
* Remove SavedVariable destructor and construct members in init list
* Clarify docs for Variable
* Variable::set_version -> set_version_counter
* Add a new_tensor instance method to Variable that takes only data.
This is to work around the legacy problems of new, where e.g.
new(5) will give you an unfilled tensor rather than a scalar.
* Remove double return.
* Fix cuda scalar code path.
* Work around lack of WITH_SCALARS.
* Add kwarg-only 'requires_grad' parameter to Variable factories.
Functions that create variables, e.g. torch.ones_like currently always return Variables with requires_grad=False;
this is less convenient than the existing Variable constructor that has a requires_grad parameter. This commit
adds the parameter at the python binding level.
* Fix flake8.
* Address review comments.
* Match set_requires_grad implementation with tensor_new version.
* Implement a (data-only) Variable factory.
Implements a function, torch.autograd.variable that is modeled after np.array. The main difference between it and new() and
the tensor constructors is it inteprets a python number as data, i.e. as a 0-dimensional tensor (we currently don't expose
that at the pytorchl level, so it will temporarily end up as a 1-dimensional tensor), rather than a size.
The main difference currently between torch.autograd.variable and np.array is that np.autograd.variable is stricter, e.g.
passing a PyFloat when an integral type is the default tensor type will result in an array; np.array basically lets anything
through (floating-point / integral mismatch, overflow, etc). This is to keep it consistent with Variable.new when called with
a sequence, although we can loosen the checks later.
This will be renamed to torch.tensor once we merge Variable and tensor.
* Address review comments.
This adds overrides in VariableType for the xxx_out ATen functions and
implements Python bindings. There is no support for automatic
differentiation. If any of the inputs (or outputs) requires grad, then the
function will throw an exception unless it's running in "no-grad" mode.
The bindings for calling torch.xxx functions on Variables are moved to a
different object. Previously, they were static method on VariableBase.
This change prevents users from accidentally calling static methods as if
they were instance methods.
