Implements from_numpy using ATen tensors. Variable.from_numpy is a
convenient placeholder for the variant that returns Variables until we
merge Tensor and Variable.
The behavior is slightly changed:
- from_numpy() on an empty array now returns an empty tensor instead of
throwing an exception. The shape may not be preserved.
- CharTensor(ndarray) used to throw an exception. It now copies the
ndarray. Copying is implemented via ATen toType.
Implements basic and advanced indexing using ATen tensors/variables.
Basic indexing is translated at the Python-binding level
(python_variable_indexing.cpp) to slice/squeeze/unsqueeze/select calls.
Advanced indexing is implemented in ATen in terms of take() and put()
calls.
