Handling of thunks and tangents #132

Description

@gdalle

When the VJP is not an abstract array, things get weird

julia> import AbstractDifferentiation as AD

julia> import Zygote

julia> ad_backend = AD.ReverseRuleConfigBackend(Zygote.ZygoteRuleConfig())
AbstractDifferentiation.ReverseRuleConfigBackend{Zygote.ZygoteRuleConfig{Zygote.Context{false}}}(Zygote.ZygoteRuleConfig{Zygote.Context{false}}(Zygote.Context{false}(nothing)))

julia> AD.second_derivative(ad_backend, identity, 1)
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching length(::ChainRulesCore.NoTangent)

julia> AD.hessian(ad_backend, sum, [1.0])
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching size(::ChainRulesCore.Thunk{ChainRulesCore.var"#48#49"{ChainRulesCore.Thunk{ChainRulesCore.var"#48#49"{}}}})
