Improve make_tensor performance for float and complex types

For floating types, `make_tensor` calls `rand` and then does a linear
interpolation (aka lerp) from `low` to `high`. This makes the lerp
step faster by:

- using inplace operations
- using `add`'s `alpha` parameter to avoid an extra kernel
- adding shortcuts for special values of `low` and `high`

For complex types, `make_tensor` does the `rand` + interpolation step
twice and calls `torch.complex(real, imag)` at the end. This reduce
overhead by doing a single `rand` + interpolate of double the size,
then calling `torch.view_as_complex` at the end.

My benchmarks show speedups in all cases for float32 and complex64.
