Title: Start on expressoin graph

This PR adds a preliminary expression graph from blaze expressions. It also has a preliminary type unification algorithm that handles coercions. This allows one to build up an abstract blaze expression without concrete input data (i.e. a polymorphic expression) and generate a kernel with associated constraints on the input dimensions. This also works for the "dtype", but overload selection and hence typing is obviously not decidable.

The next step is to use unification on overloaded and polymorphic blaze functions, and select the most specific version that unifies with the inputs with minimal coercion cost. Typing is done as expressions are constructed for early error detection.
