TODO: better Theano conv doc

# NB: Following notes contains infos since 0.9.0.

Highlights:
 - Announcing that `MILA will stop developing Theano <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/theano-users/7Poq8BZutbY/rNCIfvAEAwAJ>`_
 - conda packages now available and updated in our own conda channel ``mila-udem``.

Interface changes:
 - Generalized ``AllocDiag`` for any non-scalar input
