   @leandron PaddlePaddle supports exporting model to disk, the whole model contains 2 files, the `model_name` is user defined
   - `model_name.pdmodel `: stores the model structure information
   - `model_name.pdiparams` : stores the model weights
   here is a PaddlePaddle resnet50 model:  https://bj.bcebos.com/x2paddle/models/paddle_resnet50.tar
   
   For PaddlePaddle, we load the exported model using the following codes
   ```
   import paddle
   model = paddle.jit.load('dirname/model_name')
   ```
   we pass the model path but not include the suffix.
   
   I think it's necessary to implement a `tvmc` frontend for PaddlePaddle, which will bring better experience for users.  We can use `tvmc` to compile PaddlePaddle model like 
   ```
   tvmc compile \
   --target "llvm" \
   --output resnet50-v2-7-tvm.tar \
   dirname/model_name
   ```
   
   How do you think about this solution? And is it better that I put the `tvmc` frontend implementation in this pull request, or send another pull request?
