 * \brief base class of all object containers.
 *
 * Sub-class of objects should declare the following static constexpr fields:
 *
 * - _type_index:
 *      Static type index of the object, if assigned to TypeIndex::kDynamic
 *      the type index will be assigned during runtime.
 *      Runtime type index can be accessed by ObjectType::TypeIndex();
 * - _type_key:
 *       The unique string identifier of tyep type.
 * - _type_final:
 *       Whether the type is terminal type(there is no subclass of the type in the object system).
 *       This field is automatically set by marco MXNET_DECLARE_FINAL_OBJECT_INFO
 *       It is still OK to sub-class a terminal object type T and construct it using make_object.
 *       But IsInstance check will only show that the object type is T(instead of the sub-class).
 *
 * The following two fields are necessary for base classes that can be sub-classed.
 *
 * - _type_child_slots:
 *       Number of reserved type index slots for child classes.
 *       Used for runtime optimization for type checking in IsInstance.
 *       If an object's type_index is within range of [type_index, type_index + _type_child_slots]
 *       Then the object can be quickly decided as sub-class of the current object class.
 *       If not, a fallback mechanism is used to check the global type table.
 *       Recommendation: set to estimate number of children needed.
 * - _type_child_slots_can_overflow:
 *       Whether we can add additional child classes even if the number of child classes
 *       exceeds the _type_child_slots. A fallback mechanism to check global type table will be
 * used. Recommendation: set to false for optimal runtime speed if we know exact number of children.
 *
 * Two macros are used to declare helper functions in the object:
 * - Use MXNET_DECLARE_BASE_OBJECT_INFO for object classes that can be sub-classed.
 * - Use MXNET_DECLARE_FINAL_OBJECT_INFO for object classes that cannot be sub-classed.
 *
 * New objects can be created using make_object function.
 * Which will automatically populate the type_index and deleter of the object.
