[REFACTOR][PY][API-CHANGE] Remove legacy python files. (#4943)

* [REFACTOR][PY][API-CHANGE] Remove legacy python files.

Remove legacy python files.
Use the te namespace for most of the tensor expression primitives.

- tvm.create_schedule -> tvm.te.create_schedule
- tvm.placeholder -> tvm.te.placeholder
- tvm.compute -> tvm.te.compute

* Remove top-level exposures.

VTA: Open, Modular, Deep Learning Accelerator Stack

VTA (versatile tensor accelerator) is an open-source deep learning accelerator complemented with an end-to-end TVM-based compiler stack.

The key features of VTA include:

  • Generic, modular, open-source hardware
    • Streamlined workflow to deploy to FPGAs.
    • Simulator support to prototype compilation passes on regular workstations.
  • Driver and JIT runtime for both simulator and FPGA hardware back-end.
  • End-to-end TVM stack integration
    • Direct optimization and deployment of models from deep learning frameworks via TVM.
    • Customized and extensible TVM compiler back-end.
    • Flexible RPC support to ease deployment, and program FPGAs with the convenience of Python.
