MyGrad operations need a constant=False keyword arg

See original GitHub issue

Currently, involving a non-constant Tensor in repeated operations without ever calling null_gradients results in an ever-growing list of ops. This is a problem when using a model for evaluation.

One solution to this, and a desirable option to have otherwise, is to let each function be called with a constant=False keyword argument, which controls whether or not the output is a constant.

Oh… I need to remember why I put that ValueError there. That is a relic from mygrad one year ago!

I am pretty sure that constant Tensors can safely support setitem. I will check it our tonight.
