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.
