Shapeless compilation for some graphs (#687)

* shapeless compilation for some graphs

* update compile benchmark

* default compile a few activations

* buffer donation

* bugfix

* shapeless fix

* update tests to work for cpu and gpu fusion

* test kwargs

* add kwargs to compile

* Recompile when python arguments change

* no compile for tanh

* some constant tests
