Optimize Transposed Convolution for CL backend (FP32/16)

This patch optimizes transposed convolution for CL backend by rewriting it in a single kernel instead of three (flip_kernel + upsample + conv). The new kernel skips the upsampling step which reduces the input space of convolution by stride_x * stride_y, resulting in significant performance improvement. It also skips the kernel flipping by traversing the weights accordingly, thus reduces the memory footprint.
