SINGA-59 Remove dependency on gflags

remove gflag in tool.cc

updated Dirver class and example main file to remove dependency on gflags.
All flags should be passed to the main func as -argname [argvalue], where argvalue is optional.

Users must pass the job conf path, which includes at least the cluster setting. the sing-run.sh should
add -singa_conf <conf_path> -singa_job <jobid> to the arglist.

the user provided argument -conf path is changed to absolute path and appended to the end of arglist

Update configure and Makefile related files to remove gflags
