Proposed changes [WIP]

BatchedContractionKernel implements a custom RunGemm that can be called with tensor descriptors, unlike UniversalGemmKernel::RunGemm which computes tensor views directly from the given stride parameters.

This adds UniversalGemmKernel::RunGemmDesc which takes in descriptors and thus replaces the custom implementation in BatchedContractionKernel. It also has a (partial) POC to implement the original UniversalGemmKernel::RunGemm using the descriptor version, see discussion below.

Discussion

UniversalGemmKernel::RunGemm generates tensor views directly from the given parameters through MakeGemmTensorViews, rather then sepaately building the descriptors and then generating views. In order to refactor the rest of the code path to RunGemmDesc (which would make it simple to have both entry points available), MakeGemmTensorView would need to be refactored to separately build the descriptors and views.

OTOH, GroupedConvolutionKernel already has a similar MakeGemmTensorView which takes in descriptors as does RunGemm, with no version that expects to construct these internally. Should UniversalGemmKernel follow suite? Alternately, could we expect the caller to construct & pass in the tensor views directly, instead of just the descriptors?
