generalize RNN encoder such that it allows flexible configuration of dimensions and directions, includes layer normalization and residual connections
remove RawRNNEncoder which had similar functionality, only was joined with reading 2D numerical input
add TemporalFiller that creates a temporal stateful object from numerical input that can be used
Reviewers, note that the feed_dict method of the TemporalFiller is based on the legacy code of the RawRNNEncoder and probably needs to be rewritten to comply with the outgoing refactor for tf.Dataset.
