Our intention is to merge the static distinction between Tensor and
Variable.  Ordinarily, this would entail merging the methods of Tensor
and Variable.  But there are a lot of "private"-ish methods on Variable
that we don't actually want to dump onto the Tensor class.  So, as prep
work, we move all of those methods off of Variable and into
the torch::autograd::impl namespace (impl as in, please don't use this
end users).  This ends up being a fairly large patch because all of
the call sites have to play ball too.

While I was on the topic, I also moved any of the touched functions into
the C++ file, so that modifying them would not trigger a recompilation of
all of torch.
