   - [X] To the my best knowledge, examples are either not affected by this change, or have been fixed to be compatible with this change
   
   ### Changes ###
   - [X] Support large array (> 3billion elements) in certain operators
   - [X] Added nightly tests on arrays of 5 billion elements
   
   ## Comments ##
   This PR only supports the total number of elements in the array. The max shape size in any of the dimension is still limited to 2^31 because this PR does not update the C API. Due to the large change in all language bindings, we decided to break the PR to support large array into several parts. This is part 1. The original PR (https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/13191) is therefore withdrawn.
