Calling similar on ArrayPartition does not respect the dims argument #135

Description

@garibarba

Usage of similar in e.g.:
https://github.com/JuliaDiff/ForwardDiff.jl/blob/909976d719fdbd5fec91a159c6e2d808c45a770f/src/jacobian.jl#L149
is broken because it returns an ArrayPartition with the wrong number of elements.
This breaks later calls to e.g. reshape (see SciML/SciMLSensitivity.jl#404).

The returned array has the same size as the source ArrayPartition, and not the expected number of elements described by the dims argument(s).

This affects these two definitions:

# ignore dims since array partitions are vectors
Base.similar(A::ArrayPartition, dims::NTuple{N,Int}) where {N} = similar(A)

# ignore dims since array partitions are vectors
Base.similar(A::ArrayPartition, ::Type{T}, dims::NTuple{N,Int}) where {T,N} = similar(A, T)
