* add visitor to remove bias from bn_ inputs (#closes 2155)

* remove unused parameter and make documentation more clear

* remove bias from bn_ layers too and use better name

* let the batch norm keep their bias, use even better name

* be more consistent with impl naming

* remove default constructor

* do not use method to prevent some errors

* add disable bias method to pertinent layers

* update dcgan example

- grammar
- print number of network parameters to be able to check bias is not allocated
- at the end, give feedback to the user about what the discriminator thinks about each generated sample

* fix fc_ logic

* add documentation

* add bias_is_disabled methods and update to_xml

* print use_bias=false when bias is disabled

Make dnn_trainer use robust statistic to determine if the loss is exploding and if it should backtrack.

Previously we used only the non-robust version, and so would mistakenly
not catch sequenes of loss increase that begin with an extremely large
value and then settled down to still large but less extreme values.

* add loss_multilabel_log

* add alias template for loss_multilabel_log

* add missing assert

* increment truth iterator

* rename loss to loss_multibinary_log

* rename loss to loss_multibinary_log

* explicitly capture dims in lambda

Problem: With certain batch size / device count combinations, batches were generated with size = 1, causing problems when using batch normalization. (#2152)

Solution: Divide the mini-batch more uniformly across the different devices.

When consuming dlib headers and building using gcc/clang with flags
'-Werror -Wpedantic', any inclusion involving DLIB_CASSERT triggers

* Added a function for computing a gaussian distributed complex number. The real version is adapted to use the complex version

* Missing header

* missed std:: I was too quick

The recent change to use a dlib/__init__.py file instead of the dlib.so file directly messed it up.

* Added possibility to load PNG images from a data buffer.

* Fixed code not compiling with some versions of libpng that doesn't have const specifier.

* Used FileInfo struct as a single parameter for the read_image method.

error: calling a constexpr host function("log1p") from a device function("cuda_log1pexp") is not allowed. The experimental flag '--expt-relaxed-constexpr' can be used to allow this.

The error only happens with some versions of CUDA.

Previously they were restored to default values, which had the effect of negating the current setting of the calling code (whether set in the compiler options or by pragma previously)

Improve the error a user gets when trying to build the pyhton extention on windows but they didn't install visual C++.
