[WIP] Use chainer.as_variable

[muupan]

We no longer need to define our own function to wrap an array by a variable as chainer has as_variable since v4 (https://docs.chainer.org/en/v4.0.0/reference/generated/chainer.as_variable.html).

Do the args require grads?

[muupan]

Good point. It is difficult to guarantee that we won't compute gradient wrt mean or var of GaussianDistribution, so maybe we should not use chainer.as_variable here...

Some facts

• ACER computes gradient wrt Distribution.params via backward, not chainer.grad, so it can be affected by requires_grad=False. Now ACER users chainer.grad Use chainer.grad in ACER #511
• Currently chainer.grad can compute gradient even when requires_grad=False, but this is a bug of Chainer and will be fixed (chainer.grad computes gradients for variables that are requires_grad=False chainer#5974)
• chainer.distributions use chainer.as_variable for properties, so they may have the same problem.
