caffe.proto是caffe数据结构定义的主要文件，本文主要是在caffe.proto代码的基础上加上了部分中文注释，其中的内容与caffe的prototxt文件中的结构相对应。
// syntax用来指定protobuf的版本
syntax = "proto2";
// package可以看作C++中的namespace，与Caffe C++代码中的namespace caffe对应
// package用来避免名称冲突
package caffe;
// 在消息定义中，每个字段都有唯一的一个数字标识符。这些标识符是用来在消息的二进制格式中识别各个字段的，一旦开始使用就不能够再改变。
// 注：[1,15]之内的标识号在编码的时候会占用一个字节。[16,2047]之内的标识号则占用2个字节。所以应该为那些频繁出现的消息元素保留 [1,15]之内的标识号。
// required：一个格式良好的消息一定要含有一个这种字段，表示该值是必须要设置的。
// optional：消息格式中该字段可以有0个或1个值（不超过1个）。
// repeated：在一个格式良好的消息中，这种字段可以重复任意多次（包括0次）。重复的值的顺序会被保留，表示该值可以重复，相当于Java中的List。
