The current kron rules do not handle kron(::AbstractMatrix, ::AbstractVector) or kron(::AbstractVector, ::AbstractMatrix). This PR adds support for both. Fortunately, the implementation strategy is precisely the same as the one currently taken.

A method of _pullback for kron is removed in favour of a single method of _pullback which can handle all four combinations of argument types.

Fixes JuliaGaussianProcesses/TemporalGPs.jl#115

PR Checklist

  • Tests are added
  • Documentation, if applicable

Maybe in the not-so-distant future:

Not so much. It was just frustrating to have CI broken for so long (in Zygote and Tracker) because of changes in Base and to have to patch the issue in the AD itself instead of in ChainRules. I'm glad to see progress is being made on a proper rule :)
