Ability to convert Tensor to String representation

The issue contains a proposed Tensors implementation using Session, tensor type classes, Shape, and DataBuffer APIs, but names no repository file or test. Start by locating the existing tensor and string-conversion entry points, then review the proposal and its missing long-array collapsing behavior. Done means the supported tensor types have an agreed, tested string representation.

Per our discussion on Gitter, here is a possible implementation for converting Tensors to a String representation. It is still missing some important features, like collapsing long arrays using ellipses, but this can serve as a stepping stone. The functionality is meant to ease troubleshooting/debugging so performance should not be an issue.
