Smooth L1 Loss is a minor variation of Huber loss in which the point of
transition between L2 loss and L1 loss is adjustable by a hyper-parameter beta:

  SmoothL1(x) = 0.5 * x^2 / beta      if |x| < beta
                |x| - 0.5 * beta      otherwise.

SmoothL1 is used in Fast R-CNN and descendants as the loss function for bounding
box regression.

The loss computed by this op has a flexible form:

  scale / N * sum_i alpha_out[i] * SmoothL1(alpha_in[i] * (y_hat[i] - y[i])).

The weights alpha_in and alpha_out are called the "inside" and "outside"
weights, respectively. The inside weights are typically set to either 0 or 1 to
implement ignoring (when 0) certain samples. The outside weights can be used
to implement a per-sample loss weight. The overall loss is scaled by scale / N,
where N is the number of batch elements in the input predictions.
