Version 2.2.4.0

This release has updated many functionalities and fixed several bugs in BrainPy.

New Features

1. More ANN layers, including brainpy.layers.Flatten and brainpy.layers.Activation.
2. Optimized connection building for brainpy.connect module.
3. cifar dataset.
4. Enhanced API and Doc for parallel simulations via brainpy.running.cpu_ordered_parallel, brainpy.running.cpu_unordered_parallel, brainpy.running.jax_vectorize_map and brainpy.running.jax_parallelize_map.
