Taichi: [Lang] [refactor] dt or dtype for data type?

Proposal

Currently we use dt for data type throughout the system. It may make sense to use dtype instead for consistency with numpy, TensorFlow and PyTorch.

Also, for simulation people dt may sounds like delta T (time step size).

I suggest that we deprecate dt and use dtype in future releases.

Inputs are welcome.
