Added contrastive loss layer, associated tests, and a siamese network example using shared weights and the contrastive loss.
[Bugfix] Move error checking closer to file read

Previously, if (height > 0 && width > 0) was true, the
cv::resize() function would be called before cv_img_origin was
confirmed valid; if the image file/filename was not valid, this
caused an opencv assert error like this:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'cv::Exception'
  what():  /tmp/A3p0_4200_32550/batserve/A3p0/glnxa64/OpenCV/modules/imgproc/src/imgwarp.cpp:1725: error: (-215)
  ssize.area() > 0 in function resize

[fix] Move file reading error checking closer to actual file read command
Update readme.md files of cifar10 and mnist examples. Fixed broken links.
Updated mnist/readme.md file with additional information.
test convolution against explicit reference implementation

To thoroughly check convolution, the output is compared against a
reference implementation by explicit looping. Simple and group
convolution by the Caffe and cuDNN engines are checked against the
reference.

Document and Test Convolution
use Blob directly instead of shared_ptr for EltwiseLayer::max_idx_

This is in keeping with #742.
add abstract Layer::Reshape, and document the new method protocol
don't reallocate blobs when shrinking memory use

This allows nets to be reshaped very quickly (essentially for free) as
long as sufficient memory has been allocated. Calling Blob::Reshape in
order to free up memory becomes impossible; however, this is not a
normal use case (and deleting blobs does free memory).
enable reshaping in the forward pass

Note that calling Reshape when no reshape is necessary should be
effectively a no-op, so this is not a performance regression.
separate setTensor4dDesc from createTensor4dDesc

This will make it possible to add reshaping to cuDNN layers.
