Port to Theano's new gpuarray backend

Theano has recently removed support for its old backend, on which ELEKTRONN2 is built.
I will try to port it over to the new backend directly. This will break compatibility with older Theano versions (<0.8 or maybe <0.9).

Lasagne/Lasagne#698 and the linked issues and PRs give an overview over the practical implications of the port.
Unlike Lasagne though, we don't need to remain compatible with the old backend, so it should be easier. At least I can't find a good reason to support the old backend. I will release 0.1 with the old backend and target the switch to the new one for 0.2.
