Reversible fused adam with mt support

* Changes to make xentropysoftmax load/store vectorized when possible:
Increase default ILP so that each thread handle 16 Bytes data in one step
Make thread load/store longest vector possible
Make unroll case handle adjacent data instead of strided, so same order compare to vector case

* Add shift for not aligned case. Remove less than 16 bytes aligned access

* modify MTA axpby for wider load/store

* Make scale/axpby/l2/adam/lamb multi_tensor uses wider load

* update fused bias relu backward kernel

* adding support for not require first layer dgrad

* fix bug: wrong layer in requires grad

* add infrastructure for optional bias and activation, currently only support no bias and no relu

* make bias and relu optional separately

* add sigmoid activation option
