Rename getType to getVariableTypeFromBaseType / getVariableType

We used getType to mean a lot of things.

  • getVariableTypeFromBaseType: given a base Type (non-Variable type)
    compute the Variable Type which corresponds to it.

  • getVariableType: like at::getType, but return the Variable type
    rather than the plain type.

This rename makes it clearer at the use-site what things are what,
and will make a subsequent rename of at::getType easier.

In combination with 11078 and 11077 it looks like we're getting a lot of getXYZType functions. Is there a single source of documentation for this? I'd be confused about which one to use in what circumstance.

Sure, we can get docs on the functions. Note that these are internal functions and not intended to be used externally.

This looks good, although I guess I'm not convinced that it's not better to just have a single getType function (scalar type, device type, is_variable) for all of these things.

I'm going to defer the docs for a later commit so I can keep this stack landing.
