  An RNN cell, in the most abstract setting, is anything that has

  If `self.state_size` is an integer, this operation also results in a new
  state matrix with `self.state_size` columns.  If `self.state_size` is a
  tuple of integers, then it results in a tuple of `len(state_size)` state
  matrices, each with the a column size corresponding to values in `state_size`.

  This module provides a number of basic commonly used RNN cells, such as
  LSTM (Long Short Term Memory) or GRU (Gated Recurrent Unit), and a number
  of operators that allow add dropouts, projections, or embeddings for inputs.
  Constructing multi-layer cells is supported by the class `MultiRNNCell`,
